Guys you can't catch them all the time.... Some times they are not going to bite, and if you can see the fish they prob see you, if so they are prob not gona bite. Like nimrod said the weather plays a BIG role. I live close enough to the lake, I fish several days a week, for those who plan there trips, I would plan according to weather and the Astro chart. Chances are higher for success. I just go when I can.... Really EVERY chance I get
