I was recently thinking about my “vision for fishing” versus the world’s vision. I hope I never see drones catching bass, and I hope that whoever saw the Loch Ness Monster really just overexaggerated a largemouth they lost and stayed out longer than expected, so they needed a really good story to tell their significant other. As far as bass morphing into extremely lime-green creatures… that’s just to see if you remembered what a bass looked like, or if you’ve been fishing lately???
But if you think about your vision for fishing, what does it look like? Becoming a guide, buying a boat, fishing a local derby, heck, winning the Bassmaster Classic, or leaving your spincaster to collect dust and picking up a baitcaster. Whatever your vision may be, there’s nothing too big or too small, but time on the water, research, and, of course, “getting dialed in” can’t always be as easy as the internet might make it seem.
You can never be prepared enough, in my opinion. Your vision might be what you think is going to happen, but so much changes. If you write it down and write it out, it can come to life.
