The last three times I was out at the lake, I have been able to look RIGHT in the water and SEE the fish swimming riiiight up to bait. And leaving.
Me and about 4 or 5 other anglers were standing on the bridge, throwing EVERYTHING we had at these suckers!!! Shad Darts, Crickets, Minnows, Night Crawlers, Plastic Worms, Jigs, Tubes, Crappie Lures, I mean the full arsenal. Spinners and everything. A couple of guys were even bonking the fish in the face with their bait, and the fish just didn't care.
We laughed and decided that it's still spawning time and the fish were more interested in "bow chickey bow wow" then they were in eating.
Funny Story, just thought I'd share with you folks...
(oh yeah... GO BULLDOGS!!!)
