NOW LET's GO BASS FISHING!!!!!!

WELL!!! The mystery is solved. An "expert" told me that these are CARP!! And they disturb bass fishing until they get through their spawning ritual. Today they were thrashing around along the bank under over hanging bushes. STILL would not take a bait!!!

Thanks for the info. This particular spot has lots of over growth along the bank and very difficult to get into or work a lure.

Here is a video I took of this activity. It will illustrate what they were doing.

Small lake in Chesapeake, VA. Saw the same thing in small lake at Douthat State Park, VA.

What is going on with 10"-12" bass that are meandering along the lake bank about 8' to 10' out and will not pay attention to lures or night crawlers presented to them? Is this a Pre Spawn habit? I sat and watched dozens of these bass just pass back and forth in front of me.
