What to do

What do you do when you find this but they won’t eat the eels you drop on their heads

teaser time... I don't see it often, but every once in awhile, usually when they are mowing sand eels or shad drops, they just play with their food, a small feather teaser 18" in front of an eel can get the jealousy bug going..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

? Even with the bait /// short of an appearance earlier this spring, adult pogy seem to be MIA? Prov. was holding schools of 2-3" pogy, but where did the mommas go? hmmm...Ark couldn't have scooped them all up??

Was interesting last week just outside tempest knob too, sat in an acre of 35 - 40" bass for a few days straight, they were there from the crack of dawn and remained even after I left nearing noon, smashing sand-eels to the surface but hard to stick a lip'??? After numerous trial-n-errors, I found that if I could drop my sand-eel imitation directly on the cannon-ball attack, my chances were much greater, but it would have to be perfect timing. As they chased the sand-eels to the surface, they would do their traditional tail-slap, that's where-n-where I'd have to drop the offering, but the timing was crucial ...as they circled to retreive the dazed-n-confused, they'd grab my offering....wasn't as bad as chasing Albert, but frustrating none-the-less.

But to answer your original question, as my buddy Mike would say....drop an M80 down there, you'll find out exactly what's clouding your screen up. ....what-up Clamma!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
