Best piece of advice you’ve ever gotten for fishing is…?

Mine:
If you’re doing the right thing, you’ll know really quickly. If you’re doing the wrong thing, it will take hours to figure it out.
In other words, if you don’t get bit quickly doing something, you need to keep changing (either bait or location) until you figure it out.
Too many times we keep staying with patterns too long and fish history but the quicker you can realize something is not working, the quicker you can discover something that is.

Spit on the worm after you have it on the hook.

Fish the conditions, not spots

Any color of plastic worm is good, as long as it’s purple.

When I was a kid, "You catch most of your fish in the water...."

Don't pick up your hook until the cork goes under.

Heavy lures are easier to throw but light, slow sinking lures are more effective.

There's a reason it's called fishing and not catching.

90% of the fish are in 10% of the water, so use search baits to cover water and once you find one, fish that spot.
And one is luck and two is a pattern, so if you have two bites you are on to something whether that is a retrieve motion, color, etc.

"Keep your bait in the water"

You can't catch fish on the sofa and you can't catch them turning 5000 RPMs. Get out there and fish.

"That's why they call it fishing not catching"
-what my then 3 year old would always repeat when he was never catching anything...he didn't know I was only putting a swivel on his line and attaching plastics to the swivel with no hook

Most lures are designed to catch fishermen, not fish.
