Fish-holding lies are oten volatile, and based onexternal infuences that can change and aect them.
patience yes, but the essence o this article isbased around the knowledge o where the share and when they are about.I you spend some time with successulbass anglers, and you happen to have oundone o them who will talk sensibly abouthis experiences over time, you will quicklya ew people, but it does mean that at certaintimes, under certain conditions, you are morelikely to catch sh at location X rather than Z.Let’s imagine a virtual north-acing rockypoint. It’s 5am on a sunny morning in Juneand the wind is blowing easterly with a risingtide. This means that three major infuenceslearn that they have several unique abilities.One o them is that they instinctively seem toknow where the sh are; or rather they knowwhere the sh are going to be!
