Just watch the fish and learn..

you can watch all the videos and read all the articles you can, but nothing beats learning from just simply watching the fish in their natural habitat. great post.

This was a pretty cool post Buzz! I've definitely witnessed some out of the ordinary behavior from the larger predators as well. Even just seeing CRAZY HERDS of carp is still cool to me. Turtles that look like dinosaurs, fish that technically you shouldn't see in certain waters but still do. I've seen a wild mink family, otter, beaver, various birds from the small finches or whatever to bald eagles and different hawks & vultures & all the egrets & great blue heron that fish our spots before we do...The list can just keep on going as long as you take some time to soak up your surroundings sometimes.
I feel like I go hard when I fish so I'll often take a few breaks while fishing to smoke, hydrate, relax and observe. Sure enough, there's definitely some interesting things to experience once we put our gear down!!

I need to do more of this. I tend to go into robot mode when the bite is slow and just keep throwing the same thing that isn't working. Need to sit back, watch and listen.
