Do you get burned out from fishing the same spots?

Here in MA we have tooooons of small little ponds and lakes. You can effectively fish almost the whole place in a day if you want to. For me one of the biggest reasons I love fishing is the mystery of it. Every cast could be your next PB you just never know. Now, you fish some of these places enough...you kind of do know. Some places just have better fishing and bigger fish, some have more depth variation, more forage variation, more cover variation. I think if I was limited to only one or two of those kinds of lakes, yea it would get a bit old. There's some lakes I fish that I haven't heard of anything over 5lbs getting pulled out in many years. I still fish them but I go in with certain expectations. Other lakes have a reputation and I'm obviously not expecting to break my PB every trip there but just that slim chance in the back of my mind keeps the trip exciting. I love exploring new places and new spots for that mystery. On bigger lakes you get that variety within the lake itself sometimes so I don't think I would burn out on something like that.

      I don't get burned out but I can get frustrated with some lakes. There are two my buddy loves to fish but the bottom of the lakes are  snag magnets.  It makes fishing any bottom contact bait difficult

      I rotate between about 5-8 lakes each season.  I've fished these lakes (and one river) the past 10 years or more and developed a seasonal pattern on the fish I'm targeting.   I'll give you a
