I've heard so many bass fishing myths since I started fishing. Some are a bit true and some are not. drop below some of the ones you have heard and put why you think they are true or false 

The book, Destroying Bass Fishing Myths by John Mark Warren is excellent and it smashes many myths of bass fishing.

 

Some of the topics discussed include:

Moon Phase or Moon Farce

Educating Bass

Currently Windy

Fishing Line Fallacy

Forage Foible

The Bass Aren't There

The Creation of Color

Bass Migration

 

If you can find a copy I think you will enjoy reading what John Mark pens.

Bass dont care about your line, they're only watching your lure!! 

Redundant threads are plentiful in the winter. 
 

Total myth! ?

I agree this book is a very interesting read and has some great information.  The book has one flaw that I think was unforgivable.  He has a chapter "Graphite and Fiberglass on Trial" where he challenges the idea that fiberglass rods are better for crankbaits because they are less sensitive.  His primary argument against the need for fiberglass rods involves numerous quotes from Rick Clunn that he says support his claim.  The guy obviously didn't do his homework.  I can't think of any pro that has done more to promote the use of fiberglass over graphite rods for crankbaits.  Rick Clunn has said that using new graphite rods for crankbaits almost cost him the 1976 Classic.  For me this mistake cast doubt on the whole book but I enjoyed reading it.

Tight action  crankbaits are best in cold water and wide action are best in warm water .  In my experience this is not true .

when the squirrels are down on the ground feeding it means that the bass are biting

Myth

 

You can't catch a truly big bass from your arm chair, but you can have fun with your rod just sitting there.

   How did you punctuate that? Was it:

 

   "You can have fun, with your rod just sitting there"

 

   or

 

   "You can have fun with your rod, just sitting there."   ?    Slight difference.   jj

But that's not a myth though ?

Rocky banks warm faster on a cold sunny day. I've checked this several times. Does not happen here.

That any " one" lure is the best. They all have their tome and place
