 mostly, it for me~~~~~ yet,
i also believe that some of it is DNA.  i have ALWAYS been a "night owl" as my parents used to call me as a kid.  when i partied, it was ALL night.  even before fishing and after i hung up my habits, i enjoyed staying up watching the boob-tube or reading or internetting or writing.  it's a huge part of what makes me tick.
when i fish, i fish both tides if it can be managed from family and work.  and i will fish night after night after night, whenever possible/necessary to find the feesh.  AND here is where the experience kicks in~~~ while i am 50 and can hang with anyone 1/2my age(as long as have my energy enhancers of MINT Skoal, caffeine, and Kombucha/Odwalla to rejuvinate), i would much rather fish smarter than fish harder.  
although i KNOW it takes BOTH~~~
one MUST fish a spot hard to learn it, then when it gets dialed in i "try" to fish it smart.  trouble is,,,,,,,,,i'm only 5 yrs into this beautiful obsession, so i have many places to learn and only so many moons per season.
