Two rules will never bend
Never whittle towards your self

Guess that meant the temp had warmed enough to spark the fish to bite....

Those are the only ones I know!  This should be an interesting topic...That East is least one...does it refer to a wind coming from the east, or blowing in an eastern direction (towards east from west)?  That's a new one I just heard within the past year and haven't really ever paid attention to which way the wind is blowing...

I believe the East is least and West is best is a navigation term for compass declination.  East declination is least so you subtract it from our azimuth ( a heading off true north)  and west is best means add the declination to your azimuth.
