I recently have been using a 2 to 3 inch Rapala floating minnow. First time I used it I trolled it past a weed bed and had a big trout chomp it, I went to set the hook but my line somehow got caught on the small wooden boat and it jumped a foot in the air and spit the hook, It was my fault. Then another day I was twitching by some pads when a bass blasted at it but was not hooked I casted out again and the bass got barely hooked, It swam to the pads. All I saw was its open mouth coming out of the pads but it was stuck and my lure shot back at me. The same thing was happening with the bluegill. The next day a bass did the same thing. The next day I finally was able to catch a bluegill on it. Today I was using it at another pond and continued to get many hits from bass but none were hooked they seem to only hit at it when its on the surface. Am I doing something wrong setting the hook? Am I just unlucky right now? Thanks
