To be in the top 5% I suggest you read a bunch, study topo maps more (even on the crapper if thats all the time you have) be on the water as much as humanly possible and your budget allows, keep logbook, and try not to listen to much dock talk, be versatile while concentrating on your strengths, and keep a keen eye for what you see others on water doing, but on't let it throw you, you need to know who's successful cause 90% of anglers aren't on the most productive pattern to win.
