Where did all the bass go?

Featured Replies

i have been fishing an area were i can catch atleast 5 or 6 a day. and thats a normal day, but now i do everything the same, and i can't produce any bass. the weather has gotten a little colder and it has been raining a lot. I thought that rain makes the water dirty, which causes the bass to go into shallower water, so i went to the shallows and still nothing.

Can anyone help me with my dilema here?

Andrew, you state that you are doing everything the same.  Maybe you need to change your presentation or technique.  Bass can become conditioned to lures.  Give us some details on lures used and how you are fishing them.

Do something differant  , change your techniques until you find out what they want. Learn to adapt.

im using a 7 inch worm(motoroil) with a 1/16oz weight I slowly hop the worm back an usually they hit just like that.

How big is this place you fish... size of the lake can determine the speed at which the fish become conditioned to certain lures..

fish a different spot or fish with different lures.

keep changing till you find something that works and stick with it till it stops working then try something new.

The bass could have been spawning when you were fishing them, possibly dragging the worm through the spawn nest?  If you can be a little more specific on the location and lake size you are fishing im sure we could narrow it down a little.  Try throwing a spinner bait or chatter bait around the area, its the best search party in my opinion
