Know your spot, know how to read the conditions and to be able to adjust to the current, know the bottom structure and where the fish might be holding.....lastly.....being a plug fisherman......know the many ways that your plug can be presented and how to vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers the fish! It has nothing to do with mojo, Karma, luck, rabbits feet or feel! I would add one thing which is probably the most important attribute when heading out fishing........you must carry with you aPOSITIVE ATTITUDE!

There is one person on here who really needs to stick that last thing in his plug bag when he heads out.......any guesses who that is?

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I'd go as far as saying SKILL, since you need to know how, when and where to fish before LUCK would enter the picture. Luck would be the fact that your line/knot/leader didn't fail when you finally hook up with a cow. MOJO would be similar to style, such as your lure choice/color and when/where to cast.

There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
