macmichael Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 When you're not catching fish and you change lures do still fish in the same area or do you move on? If I'm fishing a pond I sometimes don't know whether to fish the area with different lures or just move on. Quote
papajoe222 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 If I have confidence in the spot, I will exhaust all avenues prior to moving on. If I don't know the area, but it looks promising to me, I'll give more than one technique a try before moving on. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted June 3, 2014 Super User Posted June 3, 2014 I go though my normal ritual of lures. I go through them again using different presentations. I may go with an array of different sizes, weights and colors. When in doubt throw firetiger. Then I give up on cranks and throw senkos. On a Carolina rig. Then I go to brushogs and worms. By 8:30/9am I go to deeper baits. I'm disabled so moving is not going to happen. I'm stuck there to figure it out. I enjoy doing that. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted June 3, 2014 Super User Posted June 3, 2014 I never give up when I caught bass there before. Don't forget the split shot rigged worm. 1 Quote
macmichael Posted June 3, 2014 Author Posted June 3, 2014 I never give up when I caught bass there before. Don't forget the split shot rigged worm. Yes sir. I just started using this type of set up. Works great. Thanks Quote
Mr. BattleArmor Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 As some others have said, if I know fish are there and I've caught fish there, I stay and keep trying until I've gone through everything. Then I just figure the fish just ain't in the mood. If it is a new spot, that looks very promising, I'll try a few things and leave sooner, and make a mental note to come back a different day at a different time. If it is a new spot that looks just ok, and I don't get anything on multiple lures, I usually won't go back. Quote
