If I don't catch my first fish until after 30 minutes or so of fishing, the rest of the day will be very good and lots of fish caught.
If the first fish is between 10 and 30 minutes after starting, then the rest of the day will result is fewer fish, but they'll be better sizes.

Again, that's how my mind sees the days past. I never rationalize that when I am on the water. I catch a fish right off the bat, I never actually pack it in ... I stupidly continue fishing ... and at the end of the day I say to myself, "Yep, I shoulda quit as soon as I caught that first one!"

I agree 100% It always seems to work out that way with me as well. If I catch a few within the first 30 minutes I know it's going to die after early morning.
