You and I are always on the same page and our mutual experiences/ successes support that! Amazing the number of closed minds that argue differently, quoting decades old hollow wisdom that rarely equates to catching more fish.
The main reasons I catch less fish on any given day I believe applies to many anglers:
1. unwillingness to move to and survey more areas or staying in one part of the lake, ignoring other areas
2. moving too much and not staying long enough in an area to use different lures and presentations ( I know of a few anglers that never carry or use anchors)
3. in regards to #2, not casting 360 degrees around the boat or 180 degrees from shore. Many fish I've caught were in shallow and adjacent deeper water and many times schooled in deeper water vs shallow.
4. staying with the same lures and presentations that haven't caught much or any fish which includes fishing lures too dang fast!
5. not adjusting to a higher wind velocity usually usually means always casting with the wind and missing out on surveying water behind me, windward
On any day a closed mind = fewer fish. The use of the term tunnel vision seems to apply to anglers that aren't versatile on any given day or ever. Claiming fish bite for any reason is sheer conjecture but consistently catching fish is supportive of any opinion regardless of one's bias.
