One of the things I love about fishing is the challenge of the hunt. Fishing for perch and walleye mostly, the approach, location can change daily, if not hourly, in order to be successful.
For me at least, I enjoy this challenge.
I fished Holter yesterday and tried a new location. It didn't work out. The fish weren't there (near as I could tell).
So, today, it's back to the drawing board. Watching some perch videos, learning more about behavior in different conditions, how to better read topo maps, trying to glean some knowledge to put into practice next time.
Don't get me wrong, I love catching fish too.
