Understanding the frustration of a missed fishing trip
Fishing is an activity that is subject to many uncontrollable factors, such as weather conditions, fish behavior, fishing schedules, locations prospected and so on. Accepting this uncertainty helps to avoid over-anxiousness when going out without a catch.
Rather than focusing on failure (catching nothing or only small fish), it's important to recognize that fishing is also about learning, observing and enjoying nature.
Here are a few tips to help you deal with this frustration
Change your perception : see each outing as an opportunity to learn, refine your technique and better understand the aquatic environment, rather than simply waiting for the fish.
Varying approaches: try out different techniques, animations, spots or baits to get around the distrust or inactivity of fish. This avoids getting stuck in a bad routine that often leads to failure.
Step back and relax: practice deep breathing or some form of meditation close to nature to calm your mind, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet, the nature around you and the present moment. Regaining your composure will enable you to concentrate more effectively on your work and become more efficient.
Set realistic and attainable goals: don't always wait for a big catch, but for small successes like follows, hits or simply time spent on the water.
Sharing and exchanging : talk to other anglers about your experiences, even your frustrations, and don't hesitate to ask for advice. You'll see that you're certainly not the only angler in this situation, which helps you put things into perspective and get motivated for the next session. You can also call on the services of professionals: fishing guides can help you better understand your mistakes.
The key is undoubtedly to adopt an attitude of acceptance, curiosity and pleasure in fishing, to reduce the feeling of frustration when the catches don't come.
