Fishing myths

[briansnat]

So what are some myths about fishing that you may have been told, or believed at one time, but found out to be untrue?


Here's one for me...I always believed that in the summer fish move into shallow water after sunset because the water has cooled.

Ever since I bought a fish finder with a temperature sensor I learned this is nonsense. If the water is 80 degrees in the afternoon it's usually still 80 degrees at midnight. If there are any changes it's usually no more than a single degree.
