Post by Paul Arden »

Talking to Dave on the bullet train back to Tokyo, he dicided that I had been so successful because I'm not fussed on bream, he's really into them. I had to agree, I was fishing in a completely pressure free mindset even when Kenji was with me I didn't feel any guide pressure, neither real or imagined. I'd really like to get into that midset all the time, regardless of the species. Especially because it seems to come with that weird ability that feels like you're slowing time so there's no rush in making the shots. Unfortunately I do tend to get excited and/or pressurise myself because the guide is there -I know I'm not alone in this-but maybe I'll get there eventually

Yes I think there is a lot in this story. I think we need to be focussed but also a little bit impartial to the results. I think that applies to fishing, casting, maybe even everything. It’s an interesting state of mind!

Cheers, Paul
