Dayfish-
I'm sorry you feel that I am stepping on your toes by posting up on the results of my day. Just like everything that appears on social media, this was one of the few banner days sandwiched in between many more that weren't even close to being productive. If a person doesn't understand this, they are watching way too many outdoor shows that edit out everything except the catch or shot.
Lots of people out on the lake yesterday. Lots of people in the same vicinity of where I was at, no secret there. I noticed some people catching fish and some that weren't. Even if someone is in the right spot, that doesn't mean they're going to catch fish. Lots of those same people in the area stopped catching fish when the school moved...and it moved ALOT! So, they could have been in the general area, but even 10-20 feet meant the difference between catching or not.
One of the biggest keys to being successful, IMO, is being observant. Whether it's scouting for big game or waterfowl, being willing to switch up your fishing presentation or move based on what you're seeing...it all matters. Sometimes, I do better at this than at other times, and there are plenty of people that are way better than I can ever hope to be.
