not hitting the lottery. seriously,better electronics Both. Definitely better electronics and the skill to use them. Money would provide a boat I'd feel safer in in less than ideal conditions, meaning more time on the water.

I am 62 and had gotten to where the last 2 or 3 hours of a tourny my back and legs were just in pain and I could not fish the way I wanted too so 6 month ago I started working out lost 40lbs and now I can fish all day and keep my energy up where I want it. So just getting in shape has helped make me a better fisherman than anything I have bought in the last 10 yrs.

So just getting in shape has helped make me a better fisherman than anything I have bought in the last 10 yrs. This is so true. I have gained over half the weight back, but I got on a health kick a year or two ago and lost 40+ lbs. I had more energy and could fish all day, but more importantly I was mentally focused. Fishing is a mental game of confidence. If your head isn't in the game, you will make poor decisions and not fish to your full potential.

good for you ma1950! 40lbs in 6 months at 62 is AMAZING. +1  I'm 60 and I've lost 11 in the last month or so and feel better. Got another 10 or so to go. Now if I can just keep on resisting sampling the brownies and other goodies the wife makes for the Pastor every Sunday I'll get there!

to be disiplined enough to toss a jig 20 times in weed hole instead of 3-5 times! To stay more focused and enjoy the big show.

better electronics (need more detail. would love to have side imaging, but it doesn't make sense to have more money in electronics than the boat itself--like a 4 inch pipe on a neon--it's still a neon.) and new trolling motor (quieter, variable speed, and more power) I'd rather have an older boat with newer better electronics on it than a newer boat with lesser electronics. If i had 8k to spend, I'd rather buy a 4k boat and add 4k worth of electronics, than an 8k boat with mark 5's. What would make me a better fisherman, would be doing what i think i should do, instead of sticking to a plan that's not working. Alot of times, i get a plan in my head and when it doesn't work i keep trying to force it instead of trying one of the other things i think would work in the situation..
