Angryjohn Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Haven't been slinging big baits very long but I had never watched a fish follow a lure for a long way and then just look at you and swim away. Currently the water in ladybird lake (TX) is very clear and I could see a long way down and away from the boat. For that reason I was trying to throw the bait for max distance. I rotated through the 3 baits I brought on vacation and of the 3 two of them the swaiver and Matt lures strong shad produced the most tails. I tried to downsize to the baby hard gill but that seemed to generate no attention. I am guessing that they would smash the gill when guarding fry. I got a lot of landed fish on the followup worm but none of the larger fish I was seeing. Maybe next trip I will bring soft swimbaits to see if they do any better.

BamaChild Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 With glide baits you can take action to try and trigger the bite. Try jerking your rod and twitching the bait to get the bite next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
