Location: Land of the Musky | So the same lure in the same color is one thing but if the color changes I would think that pea sized brain in a musky would "see" a different "thing" to eat... hmmmm |

| I wish this question could be answered, but I rather go on guessing and trying to figure it out..that's the fun right there. I do know of a few of my favorite spots I can throw every bait in my box and not see "the fish" but when I put on this old, beat to crap with teethmarks and hook drags, unappealing to my eyes, bait...throw a few casts, I can make her come up...well that's how it feels atleast haha, not ALL of the time but very often. Take bulldawgs for example, I stopped throwing those when I stopped seeing fish or getting any action with them. A week later I see some group, 11 boats maybe all throwing bulldawgs on most map marked spots on the lake..I don't know how they did. A few days later I took a friend of my boss out and he hooked into a fish on a bulldawg in 30 feet of water...All I could think to myself was, "wtf, man, I need to cast more and get one in the boat too". That's a lot of typing to show that I think some things are better off unlearned so to speak. So many different things work, for so many different people. If I'm hungry and there is good food in the area I will eat! |

Location: North Metro | YES!, Any animal that can establish a pattern during their life cycle can be conditioned to it's natural environment based on the effects of that environment. Those are basic Darwinian observations that also seem to be supported by scientific evidence... That is not just an opinion, but fact. |

Location: South Portsmouth, KY | To a point i believe so. But then again go up Scotts creek this time of year at the cave with 30 boats all around you throwing rattle baits and still catching fish! |
