Is it possible to blow up your own spot? Like over fish it haha! I was pulling 14-20 inch bass every day for a week in this spot, I saw them jumping and hitting things on top water, just not lures. 

 

Any suggestions? Do I just keep buying lures they haven’t seen ?

You sure can wear a spot out. Give it a rest for a week or so.

I guess it depends.  I know a number of laydowns that will give up fish every day...more than once a day.  In fact, if it is a big body of water or has current, you might have a new fish take up residence in your spot minutes after you catch one.

How big a spot and how long did you fish it?  Skunked after 30 min?  9 hours?  Did they stop biting?  Have you varied not just the lure, but the way you present it? 

I tried multiple presentations, speeds and depth, the bass literally always hold here, I could see them jumping and hitting natural top water forage, I tried a buzz bait, a popper, a plopper, a spinner bait(varied speeds from a slow roll to burning it back), added a trailer to the spinner bait and buzz bait, tried a jointed minnow and a kvd shallow crank, I was gonna go to old reliable the senko, but I won’t lie it’s my least favorite method of catching fish and I had to be somewhere.

 

i fished for 2 hours strait making multiple visuals on the bass. 3 rods for quick switches. This spot has never skunked me before that’s why I’m somewhat confused

Also it’s a 450 acre impoundment, was fishing off the current from the dams in a shallow bay that’s a mix of weeds in the back gravel out front, usually early morning anything thrown on the edge of those weeds gets hit. 

 

The reason I asked about ruining your own spot, is I noticed after about let’s say 3 fish per lure NOTHING will hit it. I am not sure if bass have home spots, or if they kind of free roam, I’m worried if the bass “live there” I have spooked them. The lake is under unreal fishing pressure for the size, 100% public with lots of shore line open to anglers. The spot I found is actually rarely fished, because on a map there is no visual path, but if your a local one leads you right to the hot spot. 

 

Also, I should mention the water is very clear and shallow through the entire lake, some areas are weed choked, but the bay I fish is in shade about 85 percent of the day. It’s shaped odd and has a high tree line surrounding it, might see sun from like 6-8pm every day lol. 

 

I probably should let it cool down, it just sucks because it’s 11 minutes from my house. I like going out there real early before work or whatnot and slapping a few  bass to get my fix.

 

its looking like I’m going out for musky this weekend, so hopefully things go good with that.

 

out of curiosity do you guys focus on weather or moon phases more? The more I’m thinking most of my catches came during the “solunar good times” lol, at least at this spot.
