Part of fishing is being lucky. Not something based around superstition but circumstance.
You arrive at a lake and everything just goes right, you're on fish and you have that one off memorable day. This happens to us all however, you can also make your own luck. Based too on circumstance and not a little hard work. Sometimes this can bring you close to your goals and sometimes you can achieve them.
So this is how I tackled Nicholls lake and this is how it turned out ;-)
