Back when we were all kids, our mothers and fathers used to tell us to get an education because, "They can't take it away from you, no matter what." I'm telling you the same thing today. Of course, your parents were talking about your lessons at school. I'm talking about learning how to catch fish.

Back when I was just getting started as a serious angler, I studied everything I could get my hands on about fishing. My afternoons and evenings were spent reading and rereading magazines of every type and description, watching TV shows (such as they were in those days) and attending sport show seminars when I could get to one.
