Do you ever fish a method or bait knowing full well that it’s not necessarily the right or best method for the water and conditions… And why?
I have to confess to doing this quite frequently, usually because I just fancy doing it and sometimes because I have pre-meditated what I think will be the best method and trim down the gear which I take on the day to do just that.
All very negative I guess but on a positive note I’ve also used the latter to gain a better understanding of something I was not particularly good or confident at, one example being bread fishing and so I only took that bait for a few sessions as opposed to taking it along with a change bait where it would be all too easy to go for another option when things weren’t working out and as a result I’ve become quite at ease with it, enjoying it and taking some nice fish with it.
Surprising how much you will sit back and think about something in more detail when it’s the only option.
I also gain great satisfaction from catching a fish on a method I would like to catch it on as opposed to ten fish on a method I don't particularly enjoy anywhere near as much as other means, such as (ironically) the "method" feeder.
Positive or negative, do you occasionally do the same and why?
