ok.. that's it. after 2months of bass not hitting anything we throw at them. we have determined the bass hate us. people next to us catch em on the same crap. keepers even. we take our buddies and they will catch fish while remain skunked. perfect conditions for fishing.. fish jumping every where.. wont hit chunks or various sorts. wont hit poppers, minnows, sluggos, shads, tins, nothin.. unless it's not ours. in most cases that top water is never directly in front of us. for 10 to 20mins it goes on.. assuming the currents will bring it our way we wait for it.. and when we finally move the 20- 30 yards over.. guess where it is.. right where we were for 2hours before..and when we chase em back.. guess where it ends up then.. yeah right back where we just moved to and spent 20 mins in dead water.. of course as soon as well leave, we hear the stories about the spot got instantly better from strangers in the bait shop. (we try and dismiss them as stories but it happens to often)
i know we all have stories of awful slumps. but usually those come when ya cant figure out what they are eating or where they are. we have the local area pegged. for every time and every tide. and they are biting the stuff we are using.. just not when it's connected to our hands in one way or another.
so i need some curse breakers.. or ways to appease the fish and make them like us again. we had a good run june through july.. but then they just started not liking us. what can we do?!
honestly this isn't that serious of a thread.. just wondering what some guys rituals are when the fish seem to hate em. ya know you have some sort of whacky superstition. i personally might start wearing my old hat that i wore while catching all those fish in june. even though the stitching is falling apart and it pokes into my head.. hey if the sox can win the WS while i was wearing that hat i guess it must be lucky.
but really are throwing everything we have at fish we can see feeding and getting nothing.. so frustrating. especially tonight when everything was perfect.. no moon, dense fog, light west wind (in our area anyway), fish jumping every where. and laid into nada.
