Looking for a great paperback read (only 124 pages) on some truths about bass fishing (and relates to other species as well)? High Percentage Fishing by Josh Alwine (2016) separates the "Old Sayings from the Truth". Sometimes they cross, sometimes they don't. All his data is backed by data. I bought it via Amazon for about $15 ($13+ shipping).

His is research focused on the habits of big bass and includes research on:
Weather ("Water temperature has a much more significant impact on catch rates than barometric pressure in most cases"), ("Sunny and partly cloudy conditions significantly outperformed...while overcast conditions underperformed")
Moon Myths ....or not
Fishing Pressure ("the single greatest casual factor influencing catch rates")
When to Fish
Where to Fish ("prime spots on many commercially available maps very often turn out to be great fishing spots")
What to Fish With (Soft plastics account for nearly 75% of all Texas ShareLunkers caught") but don't sell your spinnerbaits & hard plastics.
Bait Color ("When in doubt throw black")

The above provides a taste of what data is in this book but there is more.
Kinda like Buck Perry's book on Spoonplugging....you get more out of it the more you re-read it.
Hope you check it out....because it can make you a more successful fisherman.
