I always search for patterns every time I hit the water, whether it be a deep water/clean bottom pattern or a irregular weed line pattern. I've seen fish actively feeding on the surface so that's the most obvious pattern, but catching 20 fish from a weed edge that extends out from shore is exactly easy to understand seeing as it's like a conveyor belt - one after another.

Are cooperative fish active or only active for the moment the lure invades their quiet space?
