Can you fish at ledges?

Yes, you can absolutely fish at ledges, and it's a highly effective technique, especially for bass and other game fish that gather along these underwater drop-offs where water depth changes quickly, often near river channels or creek beds, providing ambush points near food sources. Ledge fishing involves using electronics to find these structures and targeting fish holding on the breaklines, using lures like deep-diving crankbaits or jigs.

What is the 80/20 rule in fishing?

The 80/20 rule in fishing (Pareto Principle) suggests that 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort, meaning 20% of anglers catch 80% of the fish, or 80% of fish are in 20% of the water, caught with 20% of the tackle, or during specific conditions. It's a principle of focus: identify the "vital few" productive spots, lures, times, and techniques, and concentrate efforts there, rather than spreading yourself too thin.

What is the 90/10 rule in fishing?

The 90/10 fishing rule states that 90% of feeding fish are concentrated in just 10% of the water at any given time, meaning anglers should focus their efforts on finding these high-percentage "hot spots" rather than fishing vast "dead zones". To apply it, identify key structures like drop-offs, potholes, or oyster beds that concentrate bait and offer protection, considering factors like tide, current, and season (e.g., deeper areas in winter) to pinpoint these small, productive areas for better catch rates, as shown in Salt Strong's videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVhuFFHiCwA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nffs3EYwOrk,.
