I don't know how the professionals, WB, Torch, etc., do it but I start with a cooler of my favorite adult refreshment, make sure my minners are healthy, get some stout sammiches made up (plenty of chips, etc), find a good partner that you can share some touching moments with, throw your lights over some favorite stickups, have a couple refresments, eat a sammich (or two, heck the fish don't care), tell a few lies, then fish about 3-4 feet deep for several hours and go home and clean fish. Pretty simple adventure. Works for me.
