95% of the time i fish on intuition. Ive been given some very good and reliable information over the years and stunk it up. You can generally know the time of year and have an idea before you show up to the lake. I dont spend a ton of time on the lake (i did during the two weeks i was off work and it was great being able to keep up with them) but i generally have an idea what ill do when i show up. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much but ive learned that if i rely on my gut feeling its right more than its wrong
