[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 4958488, member: 220"] Look at the advancements in technology and fishing pressure now, versus what most people had 11+ years ago. That's a big part in it IMO. Used to, by trial and error or prior knowledge, you could find cover and structure that many other anglers didn't know existed. And to mark it, you could use a handheld GPS unit to mark it or the good ole eyeballing it "line up with that crooked tree on the bank and where the mud meets the gravel and you'll be close". Now, even the kayak fishermen have side imaging, live scope tech, GPS marking capabilities, etc. It's easier to find that hidden stuff now and see whether there's fish on it or not, and quickly go on to the next if there's not. Back in the day we could fish one brushpile or dock, catch several fish off it...then they would quit biting for a while. You could wait them out or move to another spot to give those fish time to settle down...then come back and catch some again. Now...as soon as you leave, another boat is pulling up on it...IF they even wait for you to leave. Go to a place that isn't pressured as much and use the same technique and lures you are using on pressured lakes and see how easy it is to catch em. I'm fishing one such place now. I fished it Saturday from 10 o clock a.m. til 3 p.m. and caught over 60 fish. I can go to Watts Bar and do the same pattern and maybe catch 1. [/QUOTE]
