Failure leads to success

Post by rb85 » Fri Jan 15, 2021 6:00 pm

This is no report, this isn’t a self appreciation post just my thoughts and reflection on life on the water and off.

If it wasn’t for donut sessions where others bagged or losing the prized catch due to dodgy knots, lack of experience run of bad luck we wouldn’t get satisfaction from our fishing success without hours upon hours of frustration and disappointment.

Fresh and inshore I have found success but with Bluewater I have struggled but it hasn’t beaten me it’s cost me thousands in fuel and hours of time but I refuse to let it beat me.

I’ve had glimpses of success but nothing that I would consider successful but I’m getting there stubborn in my approach I won’t go to Portland to catch tuna yet, I refuse to cheat with salt guide as an angler I’m honing my skills refining my technique trip after trip solo offshore trips are tough but I’m on my own journey.

WTF Is team CBFT waffling on about? It’s the fact that good fisherman are developed by time on the water and their failures help them improve guys like Denis Bardon don’t have the whiting dialed by sitting on the couch. Don’t sulk about your failures just means your closer to success

Couple beers tonight? :ch: I feel ya mate. Salt guide, Matt Cini, even your mate TB2F is starting a members section on his website :rf: . Nothing beats time and experience on the water, no passed on GPS marks can come even close.

The old adage 10% off the fisherman catch 90% of the fish is so true and to become one of those 10% nothing beats time on the water and thinking and remembering about what you do when you are successful.

Time on the water is everything. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
