I just had a talk recently with an angler who resorted to thinking outside of the box to catch fish. He posted a pic of himself holding a decently sized bass at the lake where I had fished at the same day, but sadly enough I took home the skunk, unfortunately. Now, how come he caught 3 but I couldn't catch a single one? First things first, this lake is heavily pressured. The fish have seen just about everything. They know what to bite and what not to bite. Water clarity is pretty clear, so you can sight fish but it won't do you any good besides watching the fish pay no attention to your bait as it is right in front of their faces. I went fish less for 5 hours until I called it a day. When I saw that picture, I was mind blown, so I obviously had to send him a message. To keep things short, he pretty much said that these fish have seen everything and that you need to throw something that they've never seen before. I then proceeded to ask him what he had used to catch the fish. He replied by saying that he had wacky rigged a BPS Speed Shad(BPS's version of a keitech swing impact fat) and casting it out and letting it fall to mimick an injured bluegill. GENIUS. I had never thought about doing that, EVER. Now, I want to know if any of you of an outside of the box method that you would like to share. I'm really looking into this, because quite frankly, by throwing anything that is thrown over and over again nowadays, you're not gonna catch a single fish. So if any of you have any ideas or anything, please let me know. Thank you all, Esteban
