John's Journal... Entry 91, Day 1 Brauer's Tips for Bass-Fishing Success EDITOR'S NOTE: Denny Brauer has won Angler of the Year on the B.A.S.S. Circuit, the 1998 B.A.S.S. Masters Classic, FLW Angler of the Year and just about every major fishing tournament in the nation. He's also the first fisherman to appear on the Wheaties Breakfast of Champions cereal box. This week we'll look at what has made Brauer so successful when bass fishing. QUESTION:
What has been the key to your fishing success? For instance, instead of concentrating on my line while I've got a lure in the water, I can now use my peripheral vision to see a bass blowing up on shad either to my right or left. I'll also notice a water bird moving deeper into the water and beginning to feed on shad. I've gotten better at feeling the wind change and noticing the sky fill with clouds. I now feel tuned into many of the aspects of fishing that I once overlooked. To become a better bass fisherman, you must learn to be more aware of what's going on around you. If you stay too focused on your fishing, you miss the subtle changes that cause bass to feed differently or migrate to different locations. Many weekend anglers overlook the importance of being keenly aware of all that's happening around you on the water. TOMORROW: Brauer Discusses Success and Stress
