1 and Done

What 1 thing if you took a year and learned that one thing would change your bass fishing forever

Swimbaits

Electronics

Having more time to fish.

One year of fishing just one lake only; will change everything.
- First 6 months to find the best 3 shallow water bites.
- 3 months to find every bush, stump and rock between there and the second drop from those 3 spots. Start your search from 15 ft. to the shallows
- 3 months to find the Bass's deep water comfort zones from the mid-range spots. Start your search from 30 ft. to the 15 ft. mid-range spots. Look for the steepest drops along the creek channel swings and bends.

Learning to fish offshore better. I'm good at it but there's always room for improvement.

I second the electronics with offshore a close second.

I'd have to say electroncis. I was good offshore when all we had were paper graphs and flashers years back. Not as good as I should be with modern electrices.

I work for a technology company, you'd think I would be much better. I am much better at installing and networking Lowrance than I am using them. I installed and set up the spotlight scan transducer on my trolling motor. But I don't really use it that much

I think in the off periods between BFL tournaments this year I am going to run my side scan and down scan much more than I do an try to get better using it and fish more offshore.

Learning how to read a new (or even old) lake.

It would have been electronics but I went from so-so with them to pretty good after devoting big parts of my trips to just driving around and using electronics, not even picking up a rod.

I second this ^^

Organizing my tackle to where I could find everything

Fishing offshore

Why not ask for one lifetime?

Electronics and offshore which to me kind of go hand in hand.

One of the biggest things I need to get upgraded is my rig.

New boat! (well newer)

Electronics......if you fish where the fish aren't.....you'll never do well...

Motorguide Xi5! The anchor mode keeps me from fighting the TV and allows me to concentrate on fishing and not the TM.

I agree. Plus I think if I could utilize my electronics the offshore confidence would follow.
