Clarifies a lot.
This I find shared by freshwater and saltwater fish:
Too often freshwater anglers insist fish bite lures because they were actively feeding, sometime on some schedule involving sun and moon tables. I've caught fish at all times of day as long as the lures were within a distance that could provoke them, worked at the right speed and had the right action.
IMO all the reasons many of the quoted experts insist fish bite, discount the simple aggression behind most strikes of lures that were in the right place and time regardless of whether or not schools of fish or other prey were present. My view will always be: get and hold their attention and see what happens.
