Attitude counts.
Whether it’s at your job or on the water, your attitude makes a big difference.
Just ask professional angler Gerald Swindle, who claims that having a positive mental can help you catch more fish and make you a better angler.
The Importance of a Positive Mental Attitude
Be honest; fishing is a simple sport that can get complicated and convoluted. Between lures, lines, rods, and reels, there are literally millions of different combinations that you can choose from. While you need to select the right equipment for the job, choosing the right tackle can only take you so far. Eventually, it comes down to an angler’s mental attitude.
According to Swindle, your attitude is just as important as the lure on your line, maybe more so. Can it really be that easy? Can simply maintaining a positive mental attitude really help you catch more fish? Gerald Swindle says yes.
When you miss a fish, snag a lure, or let your line spool into a rat’s nest, do you get upset? If you’re like most people, the answer is yes. You reset your line and cast, but you’re so upset that you jerk your reel with such a violent aggression that it spools into a mess again. When you finally do get a bite you set the hook too fast and lose the fish. The little snag that happened 15 minutes ago now resulted in a missed fish. Why? Because you let it.
You’re much better off to fish, and live, like Gerald Swindle. Maintaining a positive mental attitude means the inevitable frustrations of fishing doesn’t effect your future performance. According to Swindle, this will make you not only a better angler, but a better person as well.
