When do you decide what to throw?

It depends on the body of water.

 

My home lake is pretty fickle, and known locally as a "feast or famine" fishery. It's not known as a lake for catching great numbers of bass, but the bass you do catch are above average in quality ....most of the time. A lot of the area's best fisherman struggle badly here, and it humbles me a few times a year. I "expect" to catch at least two bass per hour spent fishing. That seems to be about the average here. Like today, I spent 5 hours on the water, and caught 8 bass with nothing weighing more than 3lbs, I would consider that a below average day here, not the worst day....not by a mile, but far from the best.

I WISH the local lake here produced 2 fish per hour.  2 fish per day is considered a red-letter day for me.
