I would say countless times in my life it’s happened. Sometimes I get the old "you should have been here" calls the next day too. I guess what I'm getting at here is more about efficiency. Having limited time to fish due to a needed level of consciousness by day in order to perform my job causes me to pick and choose. I typically look for favorable conditions in my chosen spots that occur between 1am and 4am. That's my window.Its an energy conserving thing. However, at times I’ll throw the book away like last fall and just pound it every night until I drop. My best fish last year was taken during the full moon, a time I usually don’t target. But the fish was where I though it would be when I though it might be there. It took about 5 casts to prove myself right.
Good points though George. I’m still going to stick with my methods, but most people would be wise not to emulate me.
I'm coming back as a teacher in my next life. I've already decided.
