Fishing this morning on a 50 acre public lake.  Standing on the bank casting a plastic worm. I look down and there about 8 feet in front of me is a 3 pounder staring at a bream. The bream is a nice size very dark marked and has backed up against some old tree parts laying close to the bank.  The bass is about 2 or 3 feet from the bream just watching it.  Pretty soon another bass joins in and now there are two nice fish right in front of me staring at this bream who has taken a defensive position backed up against some wood.  I am reeling in my worm and I work the worm right in front of these two fish.  They did not even flinch.  I did it about 5  more times even changing worms to different colors and lengths and not one bite.  A little later they get bored stalking the bream and saunder off. The bream does the same.  I would have done better with a rifle!

Too bad you didn't have a Mattlures Ultimate Bluegill to swim around. That would have been interesting.

Or a spinnerbait with a bluegill skirt.

I pretty certain they were aware of you.

You could have thrown everything in the tackle box and it wouldn't have mattered.

better luck next time

and there is always a next time

Maybe one of these would of worked?

man, T-rig you got some expensive lures 8-)

That is interesting!  That would have been cool to watch.  As cigarlover mentioned, I bet they might have reacted to a mattlures bluegill.

I have seen similar things before and Yes you will get a reaction with my gill but if the fish know your right there they may only follow the bait around and nip it instaed of eating it. I have caughten like that but its tougher than you might think. I think if you would have thrown a gill colored spinnerbait or jig or crank they would have ignored it just like your worm.
