Re: S.O.S-NEED HELP!! Bass bite trouble!!

Make longer casts in clear water. Whatever size bait you are using go to opposite size. eg:- if you are throwing 6" baits try 3" baits. If you are throwing loud baits go quieter. If you are throwing bright colors throw dark colors. If you are fishing topwater throw sinkers. If you fishing fast go slower.

Without the info that Jim is asking for that's the best I can do.

Ditto on previous posts. Go small and smaller, slow and slower. Small baits and line. Presentation slow and when u think it is slow, slow down more.

Re: S.O.S-NEED HELP!! Bass bite trouble!!

A lot of information will tell you do try the opposite as Nova stated. If you are fishing fast, speed up for a reaction bite.

Sometimes wacky colors will trigger a bite when the normal green pumpkin won't. Sometimes much larger baits will cause a bite vs a small bait.

Getting to know the forage for this time of year would be a key thing for me and then "matching the hatch" would be high on my list.

Guess that is why it is call fishing and not catching!!! Good luck!!!

Jim

Re: S.O.S-NEED HELP!! Bass bite trouble!!

Take a Zoom finese worm in your favorite color and put it on a 1/0 hook with no weight and 6lb. line on a spinning rod and throw it. It is slow fishing but it works. If the worm is too light then put on a french fry instead. If they don't bite this.... then all of the fish are dead.

Re: S.O.S-NEED HELP!! Bass bite trouble!!

Take a zoom speedworm, cut off the tail, texpose the worm body on a 2/0 weightless offset shank worm hook. Must use watermelon/red. Cast out, let sink to bottom, will fall slowly. If no takers, let set 30 seconds perfectly still, then lift slowly two feet to feel for fish, if nothing on, twitch the rod tip just once and let re-fall.....let set for 20 seconds....lift again, if nothing on, reel in at a moderate speed and re-cast to another likely spot near cover/structure. This lure resembles a Senko, but not having internal salt, will sink much more slowly and enticingly. Sometimes a skipping cast will get their attention a little better.

You could devise a new bait or color to give them something they have never seen before. Hand poured plastics will catch fish when other baits simply don't!!!

Re: S.O.S-NEED HELP!! Bass bite trouble!!

On my waters in utah we go small small small on those days. like 1" tube bate is the biggest that we use. A 1/16 oz jig with sparkled dubbing (fly tying) striped with a tooth brush works well. If you cant get deep rig a larger jig 2 foot in front of the small jig. You can fish faster but you will see the fish always hits the small jig. Makes you wonder how often the is a small fish following your jig, you see a fish dart at your jig and no bite. Did it still get a meal?
