In this Expert Series episode, we look into understanding the mindset necessary for successful fishing, especially in a competitive environment. Vinesh Soogreem sits down with John Otto, a seasoned fishing manager, with 45 years of experience, to understand what it takes to keep the belief alive after hours on the water with no bite. John discusses the challenges anglers face, such as getting despondent during slow fishing periods, the importance of process and preparation, and the roles within angling clubs. He emphasises the significance of a strong mindset and how it can often outweigh sheer skill in achieving success. The two also cover strategies for managing different types of anglers, the impact of mental toughness, and ways beginners can improve their fishing skills, even if they did not grow up fishing.
