Nice article, but there are more than 3 or 4 things that affect fish, i.e. what matters to them.
Not all fish behave the same way, but all need the 3 mentioned necessities to some degree, so I agree to a big extent. Other factors that affect whether a fish will feed or not: -Weather- barometric readings affect fish and feeding. -Lunar cycles- the moon’s cycles affect fish, therefore, -Day vs night activity, or light sensitivity, or night-time sleep cycles, or feeding on a full moon and not at all the day after. -Fishing pressure – related to shelter as to security, but different, especially if the fish are caught and released. They may think the fly is food, but that leader tells them not to catch it. -Water conditions- pollution, run-offs (muddy), water too warm or too cold or changing rapidly. -Saltwater estuaries- tide is not right, waiting for the tide (no source of nourishment until the tide brings din-din to them) -Deep sea fish- feed is just off, not in mood to eat. Live bait doesn’t matter, even boinking them on the nose with it. (Time to find something in the cooler to wait it out or head back in.) Another good discussion. Anybody want to add anything?
