By Rob Meusec © 2010 I recently wrote an article about tackle management, a few hints to help keep you organized while on the water. The article basically described a system for taking only the tackle you need to fish for a day on your favorite water. Well, let's go one step further. I have been working on a system called Simplify. The system involves getting good at one thing at a time. The background for this system was taught to me in the early 70's when I was dappling with walleye fishing in the early spring. An old man saw me casting off a pier one early evening in May and asked" How's the fishin? I replied " kind of slow." He said " When you're done here, meet me up at the bar and we'll talk. So I packed up my gear and headed for the bar. I saw the old man at the bar and stood behind him cause there were no stools left. We exchanged pleasantries and after a round of shots he said: "You gotta get good at one thing at a time." I said "What do mean"? He said " Tomorrow when you go walleye fishing, take only a handful of jigs and a minnow bucket full of minnows. Fish everywhere with the jigs. Fish in the weeds, the rocks, the wood, the boat docks, the river channels, just fish everywhere but only use your jigs and minnows.
