Example of how stealth catches fish. Extreme Low clear summer conditions fish would not bite if you were on the beach and casting into the hole.
Six summer runs later (same day)....after casting from a tree (for camoflage) onto the opposite beach and slowly dragging the lure into the water(to avoid splash).
Stealth works!!

Being a bank fishermen most of the time I regularly catch fish that the driftboats will spook out of the rapids. The fish get spooked and move into my gear.
I have also scared fish with rocks and by wading to get them to bite in clear conditions. This works on fish that are stuck like fixtures on the bottom.
Fish on the move will bite when stationary fish ignore baits hitting them on the nose.
Common theory on plug fishing is that one plug spooks the fish into biting the other plug. Thats why plug fishermen want their plugs at the same distance below the boat.
