cd7 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Are they thumping it when you're getting short struck or is it a light tap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baigh95 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Are they thumping it when you're getting short struck or is it a light tap? they are hitting it kinda hard not inhaling it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Instead of telling you to use google and youtube, Ill actually try to help. Check out the Southern Trout Eaters rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baigh95 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Are they thumping it when you're getting short struck or is it a light tap? not inhaling but they are hitting it! a few bites were right a the bank and the fish were plenty big enough to swallow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsouth Swimbaits Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Drop your rod tip for a second then set the hook you might be pulling the bait out of their mouth before they close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd7 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 If they are thumping it they might not even be opening their mouths when they bite it. I noticed just this year getting a lot of taps. I believe they're so accustomed to hudds here in california that they're checking to see if it's real. I've had them do it with hard baits. They come and hit it mouth closed. My advice would be to keep reeling. If their mouth is closed they might come back and eat it. If they did have their mouth open you'll feel the weight. Set it when the rod loads up. If they smoke it set as soon as you feel it. If you set the hook when they tap it they wouldn't come back and eat it. If you kept reeling they would. This is what has worked with me through trial and error. I didn't notice this happening until December of last year. It's been happening here and there ever since. Hope this helps.
