Finicky bass

Featured Replies

Talk about finicky bass!!! I was down at my local pond the other day, air temp in the upper 60's, mostly sunny sky but windy. Did I say windy? I meant WINDY!!! They would not touch a spinninerbait, bladed jig or any other moving bait. So for kicks and giggles..and I can't believe I did this as gusty as the wind was...I tied on a watermelon/red Brushog with a 3/8 bullet weight and immediately started catching bass. What was so crazy, I thought 'ok, if they like the watermelon/red brushog let's see how they like the same color wacky stick worm'. Result?? Not a bite. Went back to the brushog and resumed catching fish.

Two different soft plastics, same color and they ate one and gave the cold shoulder to the other. I told my brother, fish are like women, you can't figure them out....sorry ladies.

They were probably liking the ROF on that 3/8 Brush hog. Our fish are quite hormonal too. At times I'll Spot Lock upwind of my target area, in strong winds and cast a 1/16 T- Rigged TRD straight behind the boat. I'll make two cast and jog 5' to the right or left and repeat.
