Wellness on the Water: Anglerʼs Block (Part 3)
By Chad Leton
In Part 1 of our Wellness on the Water series, we defined Anglerʼs Block and the negative effects it can have on an anglerʼs daily fishing performance. In Part 2 we provided proactive remedies in the form of body basics to ward off the onset of Anglerʼs Block. Plus, we highlighted how with appropriate rest before an event, and deliberate attention to nutrition and hydration throughout a day of fishing, Anglerʼs Block will be easily diverted and an individualʼs psychological angling potential may be unleashed in the form of clutch decisions, unwavering confidence, diligent attention, and ultimately peak performance.
Now, we want to conclude this series by emphasizing organization and it's role in your success on the water. Simply put, increased organization increases efficiency. Increasing efficiency is like creating "extra time". Just like in any timed sporting competition, "extra time" puts you at a huge advantage. If you think about it, extra time might even allow you to invest in eating properly during the fishing day! (See Part 2ʼs discussion regarding “wasting time eating while fishing”.)
As you strive to avoid Angler's Block, we are excited to introduce you to the folks at Bass Utopia. Bass Utopia has created an excellent 2-part, 10 minute interview with Bassmaster Northern Open Angler, Jason Dudek, as he walks you through his methods for organizing his boat to compete amongst the best anglers in the region!
