flippinbassinKY Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Whenever I'm in need of a bite to get my confidence up, I go to my confidence baits. ill downsize from a jig or craw type bait to a senko or finesse worm Texas Rigged (smaller profile). ill slow down my presentation to a slow drag with maybe a few pops here and there. keep trying different things to get your odds up. A shakey head and drop shotting is another good way to hoax a fish into biting. But when I am getting skunked I will throw what I am confident in which is a 5 inch senko in watermelon red or junebug (wacky rigged of course) and when that still isn't working I will downsize my hook, line, and rod and put on a 3 inch senko and fish it as slow as the terrain lets me. im not going to say that ive never been skunked because I have, but its not very often. So: Be versatile let the fish tell you what they want change location, colors, baits, try things that you haven't before be confident because if its that tough of a day im sure that its tough on everyone there 1 Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted August 29, 2015 Super User Posted August 29, 2015 Don't ever lose hope in the T Rig!!! Lately I've only caught fish on the T-rig. Here's the only one I caught today in 3 hours. T-rigged Berkley Chigger Craw. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 30, 2015 Super User Posted August 30, 2015 Every once in a while I end up on a body of water that will just shut down. Not even the bluegill and sunfish bite. If I'm pondhopping I will go to a new pond. If I am in a boat I will look for the deepest part of the lake, and hope my luck changes. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted August 30, 2015 Super User Posted August 30, 2015 If you can't buy a bite, do as *Hootie suggested and 'rent' a bite. That failing, do as Warren Buffett would do and sell bites 'short' Roger Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted August 31, 2015 Super User Posted August 31, 2015 In a boat for me its trying to eat a sandwich i get a strike everytime. I try to eat a p&j quickly. It used to be light a cigarette. That would cause a bite that made you waste the cig. But I quit more than 20 years ago. Quote
