I had a bad case of these two problems. The biggest was fishing for hours where I saw a fish caught sometime during the day. If I saw one caught or caught one my self I would be an ass anchor and sit there for hours beating the water. Or I was always using whatever everybody else was using, if everybody was using roe I would use roe, or if everybody was using jigs I would follow, never took the time to expierment other baits. Pretty dissapointed that I wasted a few good years to my ingornace, but that is all part of the learning process.
