Set Some Goals This Season "Setting goals, what does this have to do with fishing?" The answer: more than one might initially appreciate. Goals are milestones we seek to achieve and by setting goals and having a plan to reach them, success and getting better go hand-in-hand. Always wanted to fish a tournament, catch a muskie or learn to fly fish? Well, it's time to make these things happen.
What's a Goal? The length of time associated with each goal will vary. Several short-term goals may lead to a larger long-term goal. Setting goals is happening all the time in high schools, governments, art houses and fitness centres, but let's specifically talk fishing here.
Focusing on Goals Here's a goal related fact: goals written down are more likely to be achieved than ones that are not. Plain and simple. So whatever you fishing ambitions are, write them down and reflect on them often. Don't be afraid to write your goals down in places so you'll be reminded of what you want to achieve. Tape them to your garage door or by all your fishing gear so that you review before you hit the water.

The Means to the End
Conserving the Fishery Setting goals can have a bad rap. Failed New Year's resolutions and diets are probably two of the big culprits, but goal-setting is a powerful tool to improve your fishing. Before the season starts, set a few fishing-related goals. If you follow your plan, it's only a matter of time before you reach your goals. Good luck and good fishing! |
