Beating the Crowds

[CCbass]

The reality is knowing a technique and fishing a technique are totally different. I had this debate with my tournement fisherman partner time and again, he hated I showed them what I was using. Fact, never beat on the same technique even if we did not win we got 1st/3rd in 11 straight on the same technique. Reading about it, buying the lure ect. does not replace real on the water results. I've spent 10 years working on a technique passed on to me from an early 80's angler. Its different from the norm for the bait and it works, showing them the bait and explaining a little bit about how I use it will not replace 10 years of on the water knowledge of how to fish the technique. I fished pressure lakes and always caught fish on lures not used by most at the time on that lake. The poster is right, fish your strengths and focus on what catches you fish on a consistant bacis, and scratch the hell out of your boat finding new water.
