Good Luck! Sending Positive Vibes

Find your zone, try to get into it and have faith.Ā I try to do this: Do not dwell on partner's absence; instead, view it as an opportunity to get into your zone without distraction. Your decisions are now simplified and are just yours, not a coordination. You can break down your tournament into manageable chunks and focus on only the next fish, one spot, and one hour at a time. Try to make sure your internal dialogue is positive? For example, if you say, "I am at a disadvantage fishing alone," change that to, "I can adapt more quickly without coordinating decisions." Keep your energy up, hydrate, eat, and maintain focus. As BLat says, know what you are good at andĀ your confidence baits, thenĀ find those fish. It is essential to have faith and visualize yourself handling the tournament well and managing the situations effectively.Ā

I am eager for 50 degrees in the morning and 70 degrees in the afternoon. I have a few more weeks or months to wait for that. This is the time of year when I start to feel stir-crazy.

I guess today was a reflection day. The last 16-18 months have been transformative - a whirlwind of growth, learning (some good some not so good), new opportunities, adventuresĀ and achievements. Bring on 2025, :-)
