Pete i can tell U , cause i have done this.
toss a herring im on bring in the bass and his buds are along for the ride. toss plugs till im blue in the face topwater dannys pikes. nothing. toss a herring and im on.
put plug back on nothing
put live on ,, fish
we both know I can plug
I find that on sunny bright days the bass will hit lures in may more often than cloudy.
most peps dont relise that putting a herring on the end of your line does not guarantee fish You need to wrk the fish. You need to hook it if you want it down or on top. so many angles to this

What he said, there is no substitute for the live bait..
Here in NJ i will use herring.not cause they catch better but because they are fun..First light fish are automatic after that u have to work for em an u burn baits, it can drive ya mad but it's still fun.nothing like watching the little bucky swim when u see a flash an a puff of scales..

I definitely agree about the sunny day thing now that you mention it.
