persistence and discipline. deursettings vermoe is die regte woord.
en baie ure se kennis wat jy na jare optel. elke druppeltjie dra by tot wat jy outomaties later toepas.
party manne het net meer uithouvermoe en dissipline as ander.

The ability to read water and a high work rate are two very important factors

I reckon what separates great anglers from good ones is versatility. The best anglers that i know are able to adapt to the conditions on any given day and do so before anyone else. The two best anglers that i have experienced fishing with have this skill. Mike Pautz and Hannes Botha both have the ability to catch fish when others are battling whether it be through a longer cast, fishing lighter, using small baits or big baits. These guys have the sense of what the fish want on a given day.
Mike has a memory like an elephant and can remember all the details on just about every fish that he has ever caught and thus applies this to the conditions on the day. Hannes on the other hand just has a sixth sense about what will bite where and in what conditons. Both of these guys are top anglers and the one thing that they both have in common is that they selectively listen to those around them and take the best of this info with them.

For a great fisherman is one you respects the other anglers and will respect the angler who gets to the spot first and not to take over because he feels he's a greater angler and deserved to fish the spot you're fishing. As far as skills go. Yes. But not every fish as you're name on it.
