Wondering if anyone suffers from the same fishing affliction? I scour the net looking for tips tricks or any useful information I can find. I then make all kinds of crappie attack plans. Then on the way to the lake things change. 1) I want to catch fish 2) I want to have a good time. Well I am going fishing so 2 is a given and now I’m back at 1. So do I try something new and maybe waste one of those precious days when I can fish or do I do what I have always done? The sad reality is that once on the water I go brain dead and all my carefully made attack plans fall by the wayside and I revert to the known and trusted. Sometimes this is good and sometimes not. Hence the Rut. Habit is a hard thing to break. Has anyone experienced similar symptoms and if so how did you break out of the rut
