I am usually tempted to stop everytime that happens. I dont know if it increases my chances. But they often do come back and slam it.
Standing on the water, casting your bread
While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing
Okay now. So far its a mixed bag of responses : stop, slow down, speed up, twitch, but the common theme throughout seems to be to change the retrieve from it was originally. Any takers for continuing with the same retrieve?
it depends on the type of hit. Sometimes i've found that the bass will just tailwack the plug and knock it 5 feet in the air. If that happens i'll just let the plugs sit there and more times than not they will just suck it right off the surface. Othertimes say fishing a needlefish they'll swing and miss and keeping a steady retrieve will draw another strike.
