I had an hour to go fishing today at a new place I haven't quite figured out yet. I was fishing in the shade watching the water boiling up with minnows about three to four feet behind my lure. I had my polarized glasses on but saw nothing following my lure. The water conditions was muddy. But the way the minnows were jumping out of the water a predator was in my area. I changed from a spinner bait to a topwater but then I put on the bomber lime colored crankbait. I caught my predator a foot from shore. It was an 18" pickerel. I never had a fish inhale a lure so deep. He took it in by the bill/head end first. The first treble was in his gills. The second treble was in backwards in his lip. He could actually close his mouth shut. While using my new long hook removing pliers he even tried to bite me a few times. He was a scrappy fish. I finally got the lure out without hurting him. He's free swimming again. But my point is I missed reading the water conditions and wasted time for nothing. But after the predator was caught the whole place quieted down. This fish was swimming a 50' circle attacking anything that moved. He had all the baitfish on there tails out of the water. I used no scents today. So what do you think about switching colors and lures till something catches fish? Bigbill

I have to laugh at this spot. They stock it with trout. But no one knows there is a great northern pike eating there trout!!!!!

Sounds like you were changing actions AND colors AND sizes.  Not sure which one was most important.
