Many of my Bass Fishing School students are amazed when I teach them the importance of boat positioning, especially when they?re actually shown How and Why one would position his or her boat a certain way while learning to fish the many different environments offered by many bodies of water through out the nation. As important as I feel this subject is, I always teach my students and even my bass charter clients how and why I would position my boat certain ways when fishing: drop-offs, fall-downs, gradual slopes, rip-rap, steep bluffs, current conditions, vegetation, channel contours, rocky areas, points, windy conditions, etc. just to name a few, and when the students and charter clients begin to start understanding the whys and hows of boat positioning, they can?t help but to increase their angling skills, confidence, and ability to become better anglers.

FISHING BEDS

Now, let?s go back and start with the Spring beds (or Spring bedding bass.) Many anglers that fish bedding bass usually will have trouble fishing them because they really don?t understand how to approach these beds when they do find them. There are several factors one might consider before making a approach before fishing these bedding bass such as; what the daily conditions are (sunny, overcast, windy, calm), what the water depth is, how much vegetation (and types of vegetation) is in the area of the beds, what types of structure or obstacles may be in these areas (such as rocks, pilings, docks, etc.) and there are more, but lets just take a few of these factors I just mentioned and try to draw a picture of why boat positioning would play an important role when it comes to fishing beds.
First of all we?ll need to find some of these areas that you would normally find beds in. Most of the time these bedding areas would be located around: shallow water, structure (usually found in the more shallow water areas), shallow vegetation areas, sandy or hard surface bottoms areas, and especially the warmest shallow water areas you can find.

How would you like to work from home and make much more money than you do at your current job? It really is possible and I’m living proof! The home based business industry is growing at staggering rates and has become a $427 billion dollar industry!
It is estimated by the year 2025, two thirds of Americans will be working from home.

In today’s economy, it has become harder and harder to make ends meet. The cost of purchasing a home has skyrocketed compared to 10 years ago, not to mention, the steep increases in gas, medical care, day care, college tuition, and the list goes on and on. Unless you are fortunate enough to have a fabulous paying job, you are probably falling behind or maybe even giving up on your dreams. The days of stay at home moms seem to be a distant memory to most of us. We have become a generation of latch key kids and fast food dinners with very little energy at the end of the day to enjoy the good things in life.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Working from home is much more feasible than you may think. It is very inexpensive to start a home based business. Take for example: drop shipping on eBay, affiliate programs, data entry and so many more. There are many excellent programs that can get you started with very little money and can put a big cash flow into your bank account! Just by working from home you can give yourself a raise with all of the money you will be saving!

Why not put the profits you earn into your own pocket, instead of the pocket of your boss or company? That’s what millions of people are doing right now. You don’t need to have a ton of money or special skills to start. I started my business with practically nothing and no computer skills at all! I am making an incredible income from the comfort of my home. I can spend so much more time with my family and friends. I left the days of waking up to an alarm clock and rushing through the day far behind me!

Getting more done with less is an art, It?s a quality requiring much heart, But I must confess How I turned failure to success Was to work both hard and work smart.

I?ve heard two schools of thought when it comes to achieving maximum success in a minimum of time. The first school is to work hard, long hours; nose to the grindstone and burning the midnight oil. I?ve heard many people say that is the only sure way to achieve lasting success.

But I am sure you know many people who have worked hard for years and have yet to achieve what most people would call success. In fact, you may be one of them. I was one of those people. I discovered many years ago that hard work alone is not a guarantee of success. If it was you?d see more millionaires.

The other school of thought says to work smart - not hard. The work smart philosophy says ?less is better.? Delegate, use other people?s time, money, and hands as much as you can. They say this is the quickest way to success.

With so much talk about working smart, many people especially people new to running a business and young people are starting to get the impression that good old fashion hard work went out with the horse- and-buggy. They feel hard work is no longer required to achieve success. After all we computers, e-mail and cell phones. Boy, are they in for a rude awakening.

I must admit they both have their benefits and their limits. Through experience I?ve discovered the best way to achieve maximum success in a minimum of time is to work hard at working smart!

Yes, working hard at working smart will give you the best of both worlds - without the limits each one has by itself. When you work hard at working smart you?re maximizing your potential to the fullest. You have your pedal to the medal and your going full speed ahead - but you?re doing it in the most efficient way possible.

Here are 7 quick and easy ways to help you work hard at working smart everyday. If you take the time make these tips a habit you?ll find yourself achieving your goals much quicker.

1. Work hard at being more adaptable to changes.

Remember that every change that comes your way gives you an opportunity to move ahead of those that won?t or can?t adapt to sudden change. In life they say the only guarantees are death and taxes. I would like to add a third item and that is CHANGE. Try to be the first to learn and adapt to new changes in your industry, in new technologies and new techniques.

2. Work hard at looking for shortcuts in everything you do.

Always be alert to easier more efficient ways of doing your routine task. Can you cut out, reduce, speed-up or combine steps - without sacrificing effectiveness? Don?t fall in the habit of doing routine task with a routine attitude. Stay alert to the possibility of doing it in a different way. Think outside the box if it can save you time, money or frustration .

3. Work hard at thinking ahead as much as possible.

The best chess players always think one move ahead. You should always try to do the same. Prepare yourself mentally before you act physically. This alone will help you avoid wasting time and making costly mistakes. The best athletes establish the habit of anticipating there next move ahead of time. The best quarterbacks know what they?ll do if they?re primary receiver falls down.
