In hindsight I can say with 100% certainty that following my gut instincts and my totally unfounded hunches has paid off way more than any of the "science" I have ever tried to apply to fishing. 

 

Gut instinct and hunches are developed and honed by time on the water.  We frequently recall the variables on the days we did well and go back to how, what, where, and when we caught them.  One also has to be willing to try something different or utilize a tactic or lure in some cases that others aren't doing.

You got it!

I remember fishing on The Gasconade once in extremely clear water. I tied on an 1.5 oz Ledge Buster spinnerbait in a shad color. Conventional wisdom would've said no way. I caught several nice smallmouth 16-17" on it. Sometimes it's just a matter of trying something new and different.

I fish once a year with my uncle over at Sardis lake in Mississippi, well except this year.  We troll for crappie using Bandit 300's.  We use his tackle and he has his reels spooled up with that yellow line.  We always catch a good number of nice crappie. 

Bandit 300s are a great trolling lire for crappie in the summer
