[QUOTE="Captainbrad, post: 160859, member: 320"] Back in 2009 I was shooting a TV show and the fishing absolutely sucked. It was great the days before but now it was awful. I logged it with a "why did this day suck so bad?" In 2011 I got skunked while guiding for the 1st and only time in my nine years of guiding. That is what spurred me to start researching patterns and conditions that became my first book. In 2012 I nearly got skunked again but this time it clicked that the previous few days had cold nights. I finally put 2+2 together on what I was doing wrong. I went back to the days i mentioned in the earlier years and found that water conditions were similar, weather conditions were similar and the water temps had quickly dropped about five degrees. The next day I changed my pattern to target sluggish fish with long sit times and in totally different pattern areas out of the current. From that my "lateral movement" theory was born and I have perfected the pattern in the years since. That qualifies as a success. [/QUOTE]
