I will agree that the fish are more active then as a rule. However I have gone on these other days where fishing is real slow. I have hit some pretty decent size fish on those days as well. It takes alot longer to get a bite. But as long as the water is not real rough I will be found out there. Catching a fish or not never really matters alot to me. It is simply great to be out there enjoying what you can do. Sometimes I just set out there fishing thinking how lucky I am not to be in a city. With little chance to do what we can do most any day of the week. Those big ones will still hit if your lure is presented just right for them.
