I'm sure you've heard this before, and there is so much truth to it, but presentation is everything. Hungry or not, a fish may bite just because you piss it off.
16 people can fish the exact same lure in 16 different ways. A couple of them are going to get bit because of the mood of the fish.
Many of the new lures are designed to get the reaction strike of even the most finicky fish. They are also designed to empty the most ambitious wallet. Some new lures may cost upwards of 10 to 12 dollars and even more while others are selling in Wallmart for $3.99.
I have used thousands of lure given to me by some of my sponsors. When I have thrown everything in the book at a school of fish and nothing gets their attention, regardless of color and presentation, I will go back to the basics.
I go with something that looks like real food to them.
Then you play the waiting game. Cast out. Twitch the bait and wait 30 seconds. Twitch and wait another 30 seconds. It may take up to 10 minutes to get the strike but so be it. You got the fish and got rid of your "Skunk" lol
There will be some days where you catch nothing at all and others when you catch everything that comes your way.
Being able to adapt is what will be your method for success. [cool]
