Thats the absolute truth. That's why you catch big bass in the same hole year after year. It's passed on in their genes.
A long time ago I was at Nelson's in P-Town and the sharpies were holding court. This was back when Emilo first bought the place and it was upstairs over what is now the bike shop. George Calzone, Tony C, Lanny, #^&#^&#^&#^&y C, NY Chuckie, Mikey Cigar, they were all there. There was an old guy by the name of Joe Pagano who worked part time for Emilo. Joe had 25 or 30, 50's, a couple of 60s all from the beach. I asked Joe during one dry spell where the fish were and looked at me like I had just asked for the meaning of life. He said

"What the F*&^&^%^ do you mean where's the fish? They have been going to the same hole for 1000 years in August. If you go to Highhead in August and you find the hole, there will be fish. It's in there genes. I went and he was right. I found the hole and took 2, 40+ pound fish that night.

No boat, back in the suds.
