A few days ago I headed up to Napa County California and hit a small lake for some bass fishing.  I started out trying several different lures and techniques on different parts of the lake.  I tried Spinner Baits, Deep Crank Baits, Top Water, Frogs, etc, etc.  Then I switched over to something I'm not that good at, Flipping/Pitching.  The Bass were holding in the Tules and boy were they thick.  It was almost like I was punching into the Tules.  I was using Baby Brush Hogs and similar creature baits with a pegged 5/8 and later 1 oz Tungsten weight.  I'm glad I spent as much time as I did doing it as I felt that my technique improved throughout the day.  

Moral of the story, if you feel like you suck at something, make time and do it anyway, especially if what you were doing wasn't catching any fish.  From what I could see I was the only guy on the lake targeting the Tules and I was the only guy on the lake catching fish other than Bluegill.
