Tip – Be open minded! Countless tournaments have been won by anglers thinking outside the box. Fish where no one else will, throw what no one else throws, and think like no one else thinks. Of course, you need to balance that with the time proven techniques divulged by more experienced peers. If you can find the middle line between abstract and ordinary, you will climb to the top!
