Don't blame yourself! There is always a good reason and most times it has little to do with you. Sure its easier to blame someone or something else but its also the truth. If pond "A" always produces many bass and one time I get almost nothing, pretty sure its nothing I'm doing wrong. Its could be weather, birds, other anglers, et al.

I blame carp all the time for messing up the river and I do believe their muddying up the water is a big reason for poor success in areas that always hold fish. I've fished the same sections both cloudy and somewhat clear(passaic is rarely just clear) and the difference is huge.
