The fish are where the bait is. That's pretty much the way it always works, and always has worked.

Amen...another thing that gets lost to some folks.. bass dont eat 24/7... they tend to feed for a period of time then rest for a longer period... they may be there, just shadowing the bait... just because they are not feeding does not mean they are not there.. |
A good run is better than a bad stand!

and just because they are feeding doesn't mean they will feed on what you have. I've been tormented by a few good fish at a certain spot this week. When they do feed they are just slowly swimming through the bait with their mouths open, like a basking shark. They wouldn't hit a live eel small or large, bucktails, sluggos, swimmer, pencils, even flies! Talk about torture...sight fishing in it's most frustrating form. they mock me  |

That's especially true in August. |

Absolutely I guess what I was getting at is they were not in spots that they had been around the same phases in past seasons. Partially due to the lack of bait. I spent five nights trying to find the pattern in a stretch of fifteen miles based on past experience and they were closer to 20 miles away. It is what it is. Noted and logged for future reference.
