>>2473699I was having very bad luck doing the same shit I do every year at the same places. I usually catch plenty of fish anyways, but this summer was particularly tough. Switched over to small hardbaits and catch more than I ever catch, despite the aforementioned circumstance. Even my spinners weren't working as good as they normally do. I'm just gonna collect more small crankbaits and jerkbaits. The biggest thing I've used this summer with success is this 2.5" jerkbait, and I haven't even been fishing it like a jerkbait... just retrieve and pause. I've got my eye on those Eurotackle Z-Spenders now that are even smaller.
