[big fish 2003]

I had a tournament today, and the bass were all over on a shallow edge,
the water was very clear and not much wind. I tried everything to get
bit and failed, how can you get these fish to bite?

Did you try a wacky rigged finess worm -- no weight? That would be my choice in
that situation.

I would have back off a little, made a few long cast upstream of them and
burned a shallow running crank, buzzbait, or minnow over their heads. If
that didn't work, I would have gone 180° and grabbed my spinning combo and
change the spool to 4-pound test line. Tie on a small 1/16-ounce skirtless
jig with a Uncle Josh baby craw pork or small Pork O and work it slow

Not a bad choice. I might have tried to tease a reaction bite or two out of
them with a 6 or 7 inch zoom worm and a very light bullet weight. Not
pegged. I like the way the worm falls when the weight slides away from it
and falls faster than the worm.

I would not have put it right on top of them, but rather tried to toss it
3-5 feet in front of a target fish and tease him with it. Since you were
sight fishing the lack of tension on the worm would not have affected your
ability to time a hook set.

I agree with Moe, without a doubt when fish aren't being aggressive I go
with a wacky rig, seems to get them biting, second choice would have been a
craw with a rattle.
