[QUOTE="TNReb, post: 5543013, member: 676"] My new boat should be here in about 3 weeks. At 20 years, I'll have it paid off in 2043! (kidding about the 20 years part) Guilty!! Our bass club had our end of the year Classic in Alabama last year. The guy who finished 2nd fishes out of a jon boat. The boat doesn't always help me catch more fish, but I sure enjoy having one. There are tons of guys in jon boats that can whip me day in and day out. I didn't get into serious bass fishing until just a few years ago. A new boat can't make up for years of experience that someone else has. I grew up fishing farm ponds and watersheds. Got me a boat and thought "I know how to fish". I found out there's a big difference in dragging a plastic worm in a pond and figuring out how to catch 5 a day in a highly pressured lake with constantly changing conditions. Look at the Elites. Some of the best fishermen in the country. Even they don't ways catch 5 everyday. I always said nothing could frustrate me or make me feel as stupid as golf. I was wrong. I really love bass fishing, and it is very humbling to not be good at something that you love so much. I read bass fishing forums. I listen to bass fishing podcasts. I try to learn and pick up any knowledge I can. It's tough! I had one club win in 2021, with a top 10 in our end of the year two day Classic. Only had a 4th place in 2022 (but had biggest bass of the year). I struggle to catch a limit day in and day out. Most guys in our club grew up fishing these lakes and that's tough to compete against. I would love to get in the boat with some of them. I learn a lot from fishing with different people. Unfortunately there's a lot of guys who simply aren't interested in fishing with someone not in their tight circle of friends. [/QUOTE]
