After some years time practicing bass fishing, I’ve come to gather a few tips that may be useful to you.  These bass fishing tips come from experience; as you get more of it, you’ll see that you will also have your own fishing tips to give to less experienced people.

The first tip is to avoid the temptation of buying big expensive fishing gear. Yes, I know it is tempting, but chances are it won’t be useful at first.  Instead, opt for small, quality equipment that is easier to master. In this sport, if you are not prepared, the size of the equipment can play against you.

The other tip is to take things gradually.  Just as in equipment.  Apply the same principle in choosing locations, boats, etc.  This way you’ll learn a lot and have fun!

Living on a boat has opened my eyes to see a great deal more about the conservative lifestyle. When you live on a boat you are by nature conserving. Whether it is the items that you collect in your life that you simply do not have room for any more, or even the water and electricity that you use, living on a boat will reduce the amount you consume. Because the interior of a boat is limited in its storage space, you'll be less inclined to purchase those little items that fill shelves, drawers, cupboards and garages of a regular home. These items not only cost you physical money but often end up causing emotional stress in that they soon become clutter.

When we moved aboard our boat we had 3 or 4 separate garage sales to try and get rid of all our junk.  Even after holding those garage sales we still had car loads of stuff to take to Goodwill and several loads that eventually went to the dump. We were thankful to be getting the clutter out of our lives, but found the process of getting rid of stuff to be difficult. Now, of course, that we are on the boat, we don't think of those things anymore. In fact, I can honestly say that I have not missed them from the day we got rid of them. So, in conclusion, moving a board your boat will declutter your life.
