Well, I am no Pro but I try and follow this. Temp and Food is a Must, you find a creek with no bait fish, well... move on. think about how many times you look or adjust you thermostat in the house or car. and how many times you eat per day. they are Temp sensitive and Hungry..

I have seen this many times coves with any kind of water flow hold much more bait and much better fishing, some flows from treatment plants way up feeder creeks swill raise water temps also
