Some thoughts on how to focus on the right skills as anglers today.
There’s a lot more younger anglers on the waters these days then I can ever remember, and I’ve been talking to a lot more young anglers about bass fishing through messaging, texts and social media as well as locally around the lake I fish. I’ve also talked to a lot of older anglers and parents of anglers, and we always seem to come back to the topic of how to bring young folks up better in bass fishing.
A lot of what fishing is geared towards at the high school and college levels focuses solely on the tournament competition. I think we’re missing building a heritage of fishing in young folks by only focusing on tournaments.
