Tough day or did I fail to connect some dots?... - 06/12/18 12:09 PM
Fished Sunday from 5:30-2. Shallow fishery. Sun was up and water has been warm for a while now.
Caught probably 20 fish between the 3 of us but our biggest was 3# and we caught a number of TINY bass.
Most were on a square bill, a couple were a little deeper on c-rig.
But every bait we threw was getting short striked. All day. C-rig they would pick it up, I’d set the hook and the fish was gone. Lost several on the square bill and many we boated were barely hooked with the last treble.
We changed color, changed bait size, changed plastics, flipped wacky worms for a finesse bite where they should have been but got no bites.
Would you have done something different with your experience or should I just chalk this up to a tough day of fishing in terms of quality.
If I failed to put 2 and 2 together I sure would like to know.
Thanks fellas.
