Will they bite again?

Featured Replies

When I'm fishing with hollow body frogs I have another rod right next to me with a plastic worm.  If I miss a hook set with the frog I cast right back to the same spot.  If I don't get another strike I throw the worm to that spot, often times I get the fish with the worm. 

'Twas just TONIGHT... fishing a drop-shot in the dark (yeah, that's right), missed a fish twice before actually getting her hooked.  Third time's a charm. :)  

 

I think it depends on how much you rattle 'em.  If you actually get a hook in them and they shake it out with some acrobatics or what-not, may take them a while to regroup.  If you get a pick-up/nibble and just miss the hookset, you can catch them on the next cast with the right presentation.

I will usually follow with a different bait. Usually a senko. If she doesn't bite then I'll fish for awhile elsewhere and come back in a lil bit. If you hook up with a big one and she shakes the hook, that's probably your only chance at her that day IME.
