Backwards Fish?

Featured Replies

So I went with my brother to his girlfriends parents camp ground today and did a little fishing there. Its only maybe like a 2 acre pond at best so I didn't really expect much from it. Any ways we started fishing and I decided to throw a jig since the bottom was absolutely weedless and I had not really thrown one since really early this season. Out of all the time I used a jig I only caught 1 fish while on the pause. Every time these fish ALWAYS would bite while I was jigging it. Same ting went for him while he was using a suspending minnow, every time he started a twitch they would tap it I don't think he ever got a bite just letting it sit, always in mid twitch did they hit it. Same thing when I was using a drop shot, they would grab it mostly while I was shaking it although I did catch a few on it while on the pause. It was just really weird to me and something I had never experienced before, I don't know what the deal was with the bass in this pond but they didn't want any thing if it was just sitting.

Sounds like the fish were just actively feeding and wanted something moving. That would be your que to switch to something like a rattletrap or spinnerbait and give them what they want. ;)
