Great attitude, but I like being confident as well. Loose confidence, and it's just a little less rewarding. My suggestion is to fish with someone who is willing to teach, and be paitent. It helps If he/she is a relatively good angler to boot. And remember that bank crowds are there for a reason, if they don't bother you too much. Invest the time fishing, reading about it, or simply watching others fish and take note of what the successful folks are doing. Learning on the water is a never-ending process for me.
And I still get taken to school.
Good fishing.
