Sharpie Secrets - Real secrets? Or plain common sense?

I mull over this several times a year and I was really thinking about this for the past few weeks. If you have had the chance to fish with people you rate as really good to damn good, what little things did you see them do that when you saw it you slapped yourself in the forehead because it was so simple? Was it truly a secret or advanced method? Or just an hinestly good common sense practice?

I've fished with a fair amount of people and a few that I would regard as damn good, especially if having spent some real time fishing with them.

A couple things I've noticed:

#A The lure or bait spends significant amount of time in the water - BS'ing is kept to a minimum and that even occurs only when the presentation is happening in the water...

#B Organized - things are ready to go which allows for more of # A (see above)

That's just two for starters, and they are common sense things.... Got some more?
