Steve Byrne wrote a great article for the latest issue about how to get more time on the water/sand and how to get more of our scaled friends.

Ten Key Steps to Success

It all works, believe me. This was on my lunch break last June.

I only see on problem with fishing this way. How hard is it to leave when the fish are there?

I can beat "Ten keys to success!

Mine is (stolen) "If you don't have your line in the water-you can't catch fish" !!!

It can be tough to leave.

That is why I keep as much "leave" time as possible at work.

The guys that snapped that picture pulled up while I was landing the fish and couldn't believe I left right after that. I know a fish like that was a "fluke" in the middle of the day but (here's another stolen one) You gotta be in it to win it. Now if there was a blitz going on, I would have to be a little late back to the office.

I've had days where I've caught three bass in the twenty minutes I can fish out of my forty-five minute lunch break. Fishing for an hour before work is a great way to start the day, and instead of driving home during rush hour, I'll go fish for another hour, or four, in the evening.

It isn't all just about being there when the fish are. The more time you get out, the more you have the opportunity to learn, and your skills will improve.

Great Article

Nice fish Chris,where do you work?(just trying to pinpoint were the pic was taken)Those 10 reasons kinda sound like my life
With being I work for myself,(flexible work schedule),I can be late,not come back,call in sick.But don't get me wrong there are draw backs to working for yourself You gotta keep dem builders happy from time to time,& time is money.

I never knew so many people from this site fished that area, actually I never knew so many people fished it period. I'm there 6.5 out of 7 days a week during the season. Nice fish in that skinny water!
