It’s not your bait!
Or your lures , your tackle, or your fish Finder. You’ve spent all that $ and focus on these, but the true measure of whether you’ll catch fish or not is whether the fish are stressed or not! Yep, stress.

There are other factors that come into play too; temperature, turbidity and weather. But none more than oxygen.
