Indeed a good question, I used to fish black bungee worms on a lake near me
with great success. Then after a while of landing fish after fish with them
it stopped. I;'ve tried them again after that from time to time only to be
met with the same results. "El Skunko", switch to a senko or spinnerbait and
fishing was once again back on. Maybe it was a confidence thing or maybe the
bass in this small little lake don't like bungee worms no more. Who knows

Discovery has a show called Mythbusters. They replayed a show where the
myth
was that a goldfish could only rememeber things for 3 seconds (so every
time
they swam around the bowl, they thought it was new). They proved gold fish
could be trained to swim more quickly through a simple maze to get food.

Do fish "remember" things? Sure... like a what fills your belly and to
stay
away from bigger hungry fish but I doubt they have the capacity to
"rememeber" what a false bait looks like vs real food. Perhaps they might
be
more apprehensive about feeding if they were just caught... but I doubt
this
last more then a few hours or a day.

That and we probably all throw lures next to hundreds of fish each day
that
we don't catch... or someone else did not catch the weekend before.

Just my 2 cents.

I was just curious, how good are fishes memory?

I usually do my fishing on Mondays and Tuesday, and always think I'm
fishing at a bad time because the fish were recently pressured quite
abit (from the weekend anglers).

But do fish have good memory?

I know I have had times where I caught a fish, only to catch the same
fish the next day on the same lure.
