Guys, I went fishing the other day in one of my local lakes and it was as clear as I have ever seen it. Probably visual to about 12 feet. Total avg depth of lake is around 15 feet. So anyway before I put in my boat I saw a bass, around 3 lbs just sitting in about a foot of water. He didn't seemed bothered by me being right there. I started moving around to see if he would take off towards the heavier weeds. He didn't move. So I tossed a rock in the water and he moved real quick about 5 feet and then turned back at me and just stayed there again. I thought something has to be keeping this fish right here.....So I turned over a few rocks right at the bank and there they were.......small crayfish everywhere. So I pitched a craw around the banks and weeds and had a pretty good day.

The power of observation. Nice job.

Its been my experience that power of observation doesn't always hold up hahaha. Just last week I was fishing when I noticed hundreds if not thousands of 3" to 5" eels swimming in/out and around a big drain that runs into the water. The water was about 4' deep, and cloudy so I can't confirm that bass were there, but I thought it would make sense being that it was easy pickings haha. I sat there throwing everything I could think of, not a single bite the entire time.

Power of observation and power of catching are two different things
