I have an ongoing debate with my friend about smallmouth and sun. He insists that they LIKE sun, and it is only the barometric pressure of a bluebird day that stifles them. My experience has been the opposite; the cloudier and nastier the better.

I think we over complicate fishing.  I think if we look at all our fishing days as a whole they 50/50 prove or disprove theories.  It’s always easy to blame why we didn’t catch fish. The reality is someone somewhere on that body of water was crushing it. No different than when your buddy in the boat is crushing it right next to you and you can get a bite from a mosquito. 

^truth !
