CHANGE YOUR APPROACH
One of the 'secrets' top anglers use to consistently catch fish is to change their approach often. Average anglers who struggle to catch fish are often in a rut. They spend too much time in the same types of spots, or fishing the same type of presentation. The best anglers, by contrast, treat their fishing day as a huge experiment, always, in effect, 'asking the fish what they want' by offering them different things until they bite on something.
BACKUP PRESENTATIONS
You have to have 'backup presentations' in your arsenal to consistently catch fish. Let's say you catch fish 2 days in a row on a certain colour and size lure, presenting it a certain way. The third day, your 'pattern' doesn't hold up, you don't catch anything after a few hour of trying, in the same spots that had been producing. Before abandoning the spots, thinking the fish have moved, try different presentations on them. Give the new presentation an honest chance to work, and if you still haven't caught much, then switch to new spots.
MIND AND CREATIVITY
For all the modern tools available to help you catch fish, your mind and creativity are the most powerful. You've got to constantly use all the resources you have, and your mind is the greatest resource of all. You have to think about what you've try so far, from the type of spots to the type, size, and colour of lures, to how you're presenting those lures. Constantly experiment, and compare the day you're having with others you've seen. Every unproductive hour should put you closer to finding a productive fish-catching pattern. You can't do this with your motor, or your rod and reel. It only comes from thinking about what you're doing.
UNDERSTAND THE POTENTIAL OF THE WATER YOU'RE FISHING
Before getting disappointed about hoe many fish you catch, or how big they are, make sure you understand the potential of the water you're fishing. Some lakes, rivers, ponds, or reservoirs simply don't have that many fish of a given species, or perhaps they've had bad hatches in recent years and the number of fish is down from what the water has historically produced. It's important to begin your fishing day with realistic expectations, that will put your catches in focus.
