Seems like I have a few days every month at the canal that this happens - especially times at dawn when the bait is really thick. A couple people I fish with think that the fish get so locked in that on a particular type of bait that is acting in a specific way, you don't have a chance unless you can make your artificial look and act exactly like what they're after.

I've also wondered if the reason it's so tough when there's heavy bait is due to the "defense in numbers" system that bait fish utilize. As a "bait fish" in a massive bait ball, our lures are just 1 out of thousands.
