PressuredFishing Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 So yesterday I went out and last 5 minutes of fishing I flipped to some cover and caught a three pounder. Today with 5 minutes left I went to the same price of cover for the hell of it with the exact same lure and color in the exact same place and pulled out a different three pounder. Has this happened to anyone else, and why the hell as they stacked up there lol. Maybe the baitfish really like it because it's got a ton of protection ? maybe it's just one of those things. I have pulled a total of 7 bass from this one piece of shallow structure this year and it's about the size of a small car like a prius. Anyone else had this happen? 1 Quote
Biglittle8 Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Last winter I fished a weed bed in the middle of a pond I frequent and pulled out 3 fish over 5lbs on three consecutive days. You can't see the weeds from shore, but I have fished it so much I know where the boundaries of it are. I never got more than one fish a day out of it, all in cold weather ripping the same"Diamond Dust" Ratl-Trap through it. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 5, 2021 Global Moderator Posted July 5, 2021 The best pieces of cover/structure are going to hold the most fish. A lot of times, there will be one or multiple directly on or in it, with more close by. So if you a fish leaves the prime part of that area, a new one could very likely move in and take it's place quickly. Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 5, 2021 Super User Posted July 5, 2021 One of the biggest mistakes you can make after catching a bass is not making follow up casts. Case in point, a brush pile can hold multiple fish. 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted July 5, 2021 Super User Posted July 5, 2021 I caught my PB at a spot right up against the bank that had a little hole that was deeper than normal. Cattails came out on both sides of it. Within a few months I cast there again and hooked another fish app. the same size but lost it when it jumped. Fast forward 35 years and my son caught one that was a few oz shy of my Pb about 30 feet down the bank from there… He caught another fish that was the same lenght of my PB but was a skinnier fish than mine just a few feet to the right of the other big fish he caught…One of those 2 fish is his PB .

NoShoes Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 There’s a reason the first fish was there, it’s a good spot. Why wouldn’t another one like it? Quote
