As Bass Fisherman there's no shortage of superstition, excuse or ego when it comes to either a good or bad day on the water. According to our infinite wisdomas anglers, Mother Nature either helps or hinders us, but in the grand scheme of things does it truly matter when it comes down to the hour, minute or fraction of a second it takes for a spot or fish to become active?

When the ground decides to burp or fart, anglers and the general public decide to throw us into a state of emergency. We start freaking out thinking the world is going to end and more importantly the fish are going to stop eating. Don't let this sound as if I'm trivializing natural disaster as I personally know people affected in recent events, but when it comes down to natural phenomenon, we tend to take hold with authority and own the events as if known fact.
