To me, it's a matter of putting your finger on the pulse of the fish and
especially the lake. When I say lake, I don't just mean the depression in
the earth that's full of water, I mean the web of interdependent life forms
that make up the aquatic community as well.

I can gain valuable prefishing info for a bass tourney by catching crappie,
pike, whatever. If I've got my finger on the pulse of the lake, I can get a
good handle on where and how to fish as conditions change.
