Question for Ron

[Guest]

Flick--I SURE HAVE-- 14ft of clear water sat on top of those guys for 30 minutes,changing lures , bait ,they came out of there rocks and would just bump it then put it in reverse and back into the rock. It was insane,Ive never seen anything like that;; crawlers, leeches,minners,they pushed them away, jigs , lindys,raps, nothing worked; we sat the bait on top of him,in front, bounced it, jiged it and finally left him; and we werent the only ones with the same story that whole weekend. UNREAL!!!!!!

Exactly the way I felt-I wonder what made them so sluggish? The fish I was on were in 5ft. though, and they weren't sitting still, they were swimming all over.

I don't know why they wouldn't bite but I've had the same thing happen. A problem could have been that you spooked them by getting too close. If you really want to catch them you could try casting a split shot and a leech. They really have a hard time resisting a lively leech.

On Monday I found a spot where there were about a dozen smallmouth, but didn't catch one. Tried everything. They'd take a look at it but wouldn't chase. Do you ever have this problem? Are there any bail out baits you go to when nothing else seems to work? Thanks, Flick.
