>>2457834>If you want to catch fish in pressured waters, you have to get reaction bites. Burn small fast-moving lures near cover and they will be more likely to hit it.I've done this with all kinds of lures (spinners of every type, little jerkbaits and crankbaits, chatterbaits and buzzbaits), and it doesn't work worth a flying fuck.
>If you want to fish finesse style soft plastics, downsize to crappie sized ones. Small craws, 3" wacky rigs, things like that.That's exactly what I do, it's the only thing that catches them. Just look at my plastics box. Anything that isn't a 3" green worm is now just for show.
>If you give pressured bass a chance to look at the bait, they're just gonna look at it and say "nah." You have to bring out that instinctual urge to chase.They've apparently even lost that around where I live. I catch fish, but I catch a whole lot more when I go to a big lake. Maybe COVID and normies going outside for a change really is to blame, like everyone I fish with tends to think.
