Abe Lincoln on fishing

[akammerman]

I read a quotation by Abe Lincoln the other day and immediately thought of the application as it relates to fishing.

“If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax”

I'm always so antsy to be casting into the water, that I don't spend the time I should preparing. I need to learn to take time to prepare myself with knowledge, and properly prepare my tackle and such so it will work effectively.

It changed my perspective a bit on many levels (not just fishing), and thought I'd pass it along. . .

I try to get my rods ready the night before I go out. It speeds up my on water times. Especially if I take my toon. The set up alone upon arrival can take up to 45 minutes and by having the rods ready to go before hand speeds up my time.
