The more one tries, the more one over analyzes a situation, the more complex it becomes, the more mistakes will be made.

They miss the fact they are out enjoying a hobby. And other people are out enjoying the same hobby as them and there is no reason to be an ass to each other. Some guys treat this stuff like they got the bassmaster classic on the line and they gotta be where someone is and that guy is an idiot cause he found a spot with his 14' tin boat and not a 21 foot glass boat and blah blah blah blah ive heard it all on the rivers around here. one guy couldnt believe i wouldnt pull anchor and give him the spot after he spent an hour crowding into me. I found out later the guy waited till i left and came back and tore up his fancy boat trying to jump a cable that we were catching fish on......

Glenn reply :
The #1 thing most bass anglers miss is what the fish are actually doing at that moment. Too many of us (myself included) fish history, or approach a day based on what they think the fish should be doing. Instead...
Fish the moment, challenge your hunches, and start each fishing day with a clean slate.

Sometimes I miss class because im so used to getting up early and going to my honey holes. Hey it happens...
.
On serious note though im going with what glen posted.. fish the moment ,
also try bigger baits you might get a bigger fish, than using the same small baits all the time.. go out of your comfort zone try something new!
WRB reply :
Some good points, fishing memories is almost always a big mistake. We talk about fishing outside water and over 90% of bass anglers will never go further away from shore then the distance of a cast. I talk about seasonal periods a lot, few anglers consider how this affects bass location.
The biggest misconception is the belief you can catch bass when they are inactive.

Catt reply :
Eliminate your history you've eliminated your experience!
History = experience = confidence = bass in the boat!
Yes we should fish the moment but experience (history) gives us the confidence to select proper areas and techniques required to be productive.

Conditions. People tend to fish spots and lures that worked last week or last year or even the day before. Everyday is a new day and all factors should be considered when choosing a spot, lure, color, retrieve.

I fish the same structure with the same lure as I did 45 years ago and still kick bass.
Snakehead Whisperer reply :
I have a few...
-Many fall for tackle fads/gimmicks. 90% of my fish are caught on tried and true lures that have been around for years. This is not to say that there is not any innovation in the tackle field, it's just that one has to do a lot of research to find the good stuff.
-Many overlook deep water/offshore fishing like so many have already mentioned itt.
-Current. This is a big one.
-I find that many focus intensively on water temperature, but give very little consideration to the duration of daylight during any particular season; and many bass anglers think that the moon phase is a joke or something.
I can go on like this for hours.

True there's always certain spots that hold fish because of what it has to offer.
Loop_Dad reply :
Like a couple of folks mentioned already, fishing outside.
Yesterday morning a boat pulled in hurry not too far from where I was fishing. I could see they came in for a visible cover. They are casting against the bank. They started moving towards me from there. Eventually they put their boat between me and the bank. I thought they were rude because I was casting in different directions from my boat, but I refuse to let something like that ruin my day.
Anyhow, the guy asked me if I had any luck. I told him I had a couple. He looked puzzled. He asked if I was fishing for Stripers. From how he asked, I bet he had no clue where I was finding the LMB. Since they weren't nice I didn't offer any tip on how I was catching them.

If you don't learn from your time on the water, nothing can help you!
However fishing memories to me is fishing the wrong places that you caught bass seasonally. Best example is the spawn when bass are shallow for spawning not feeding.anglers do very well in the spring fishing shallow protected areas and stay there all year. On the other hand is using your experience to locate bass where they currently are active.
Thursday I going fishing with a friend in his boat on a lake that we haven't fished in 3 years. Everyone tells me the lake is 30' down and fishing is slow. I know this lake and will use my memory what the lake is like is like 30' low in mid October. Check the surface temps, look for a thermocline to determine if there is one and what depth the baitfish are at. With that info and my experience we will go fishing, but not at the same places we fished 3 years ago in the the early summer.

Catt reply :
WRB & BassAssassin
There are 2 reasons bass will leave its home, one is extreme environmental changes, and the other is extreme biological changes.
The spawn is one extreme biological change and a change in the depth would be an extreme environmental change.
My "history" would tell me where to search for bass and with which techniques during the spawn.
Even with a 30' drop in the lake level my "history" tells me bass will still be located on structure, breaks, & breakline.
roadwarrior reply :
For the original question: Lighter line will catch more fish in many situations.
Bankbeater reply :
Always fish first on the side of the lake that is getting hit by the wind.
