Help
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. -- The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value. Good Fishing - Moe Moe's Guide Service (Lake Okeechobee) - http://moebassguide.com Outdoor Frontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com/index |

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 -- Craig |

... Did you try a wacky rigged finess worm -- no weight? That would be my choice in that situation. 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. -- Bob La Londe Yuma, Az http://www.YumaBassMan.com -- The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

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. "Craig" wrote in message m...
