Your not wrong about that luck factor, especially when they shut down. I
havw pitched to shorelines and laydowns and got nothing but put it 6 inchs
further back or to the left or right and wham!!! fish on.. sometimes you
have to bonk them on the head

favorite time to be fishing is in a really tough tournament. Anyone can
catch fish when they're biting, the trick is to catch em when they're not
biting."

I totally agree. Learning how to provoke a reactionary strike when the
bite is off is very cool. But so is knowing where and how to always find
some active fish is even better. Now, all I have to do is learn how ;-)
Which is the same problem 99.5% of all anglers face.

They say that at any time only 10% of the all the water in a lake is right
to support life. Now, that is a lot of dead (unproductive) water.
Further compound that with poor conditions, and we as anglers are faced
with only about 1% of all the water in a lake being right to support
activity (just a personal theory). Talk about finding a needle in a hay
stack I say the word LUCK goes along with the SKILL at that point. For
in a pro tournament you have a lot very talented and skilled anglers who
know where the most active fish SHOULD BE, so the deciding factor - LUCK
or being LUCKY.
