They did a study many Moons ago on this very thing they did it on bass fisherman using the top pros. It was pretty revealing all of them were low in a certain chemical ( cannot remember the name ) but it secretes thru the skin everyone has it but some secrete more or less then others.. All the top pros tested showed low levels of this chemical and you figure 100% percent of the time they use artificials that is saying something..

I am bad at this but I have a friend that keeps super good notes on every time he goes out. He has accumulated years worth of notes and it has served him very well. Before he even hits the water he will review his notes from previous years for the date and probably 85% of the time it is right on.
