FOCUS - JUNE 2017 9 “You have to focus on having fun,” Ethan says. And while they are all out there to enjoy the outdoors and have a little friendly competition, they are keenly aware that paying attention to the little things can make a big difference.As the youngest member of the team,Aaron Nijjar knows the importance that statement. “I always watch the other people in my boat,” he says, “because you may learn something new. Sometimes people will catch fish behind you just by doing something different than you. It might be as little as a slight twitch but it puts fish in the boat and that’s what matters.” While fishing tournaments are a big deal here in Canada, they are an even bigger deal in the US where the bass act as poker chips in a high stakes game. Will it be intimidating I ask Mark, for our newbies to adjust to a different scene? Mark thinks about it for a second and shakes his head calmly. “Tournament fishing’s like any other fishing. You have to have the right place to fish and be there at the right time, with the right lures.’ He thinks about it for a second more. “And you have to know how to pull them in. And these guys? Well, they can do that.” By Laura Francis, Special to Focus on Scugog Photos courtesy of hark Nijjar PhotograPhy, with our thaNks!
