I usually fail at two of these and only get one right. Sometimes I
fail at all three. A couple years ago a guy asked me before a
tournament (I was fishing against him) what was working and if I had
any general tips to help him out. I thought for a moment to try and
come up with something other than baits that had been working for me
or patterns that were producing. Minutes before a tournament I thought
it was pretty tasteless for one of my competitors to be asking me for
tips, but I when I stopped being annoyed long enough to think this
crystalized for me. I've mentioned them before, but they bear
repeating, and I hate to see the non bass fishing posts takeover this
group completely.

1. Spend your time on the water actually fishing.
2. Make as many quality presentations as it is possible for you to
make in the time you have.
3. Get the bites you get in the boat.
4. Then learn how to properly fry them up with a lot of $pam!

Sounds simplistic. It is, but implementation is only as
problematic when it comes to opening that $pam can.
