Well 1st time there with my new weapon. A Bass Pro Shops Micro Lite 7' with a Shimano Sahara using 2lb Izor line. I was hunting for some bass since I saw a few from the banks. Mind you its my 1st time fishing for bass.
I tried some power worms........... denied.
I tried some spinner baits............ denied.
I tried a variety of Rapala's.......... denied.
I spoke with some older guy there who is a regular and he told me the bass will chase all sorts of bait but wont bite them due to the fact that there is an abundance of blue gill which they feed on. I thought it was a funny story but after a few "chases" I began to believe him. He hooked me up with a bobber and a night crawler for the blue gill witch he was catching and releasing almost at will.
Saw 3-4 LMB only a few feet from me just staring up at me. Tried as many diffrent lures, soft baits as I could and not one single bite.:???::Angry::???:
These bass are gangster. One guy with a net even tried to scoop it up. It simply drifted back enough out of reach and came back only 3' away. :Evil:
I will be back throughout the week to try some thing new.
Any suggestions on technique or bait type is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
