Ok jake I actually like your stance on "gut feeling" perhaps it's not the best phase I could of used. Maybe say my best tournaments are the ones when I fish with an open mind, and maybe that allows me to think more clearly on what the fish are actually doing. Not the there gonna be on docks today because of the conditions and pound my head against the wall wondering why they aren't biting when really they are under my boat.

Troy,
I gotta say...I hate the concept of "gut feeling". Always have. If you look and see a bank or point that looks "right" that isn't your gut. That is your brain, eyes, and experience saying that "in these conditions they could be on a spot like that."
Sorry for splitting hairs a bit, but the word "gut feeling" to me is akin to making decisions blindly and without any real rationale. To me it implies some psychic stuff. The only people who talk about "gut" are those who are so experienced they think faster than they explain. They are usually better at thinking than they are explaining how they think.
I go with my gut when it tells to eat a burrito, when it tells me to go to the bathroom, and when it tells me to push my girls head under the covers.
So After Thoroughly reading every inch of this thread, I though it important that someone summarize it:
1. If you're fishing a tournament, you have to be there that day, just go fishing.
2. If you can fish any day you like, you're retired and those of us that work envy you. Just go fishing when you want.
3. If you're hunting for trophy class fish, choose a lake and Just go fishing.
4. Gut feeling, instinct, conscious thought, experience, are all things developed by Just going fishing.
5. Adding Beer may or may not help.
