The no LS woes .....

[Ketchn]

without a means to look into the water , a fella sure is at a disadvantage .
now in some cases a fella might already know where they are .
heck he might even know what they will likely bite .
but here in lies the main problem in some cases ....
how man are actually down there ?
is it a few ....or a herd ....
it is difficult to say in lot's of cases , sometimes I am sure there are tons of them under my feet and I just can't get them to bite .
other times I think maybe they just are not there .
one thing for certain though , these fish bit so VERY ridiculously soft and feather like it is hard to describe .
the 4 of us missed literally hundreds of bites !
I think I missed about the first 10 or more bites myself .
H had it worser and my poor wife and daughter were getting the schooling of their lives !
dialing it in was beyond tough and more than a few times you would "think" maybe that was a bite and set the hook on nothing ....other times, up would come a foul hooked fish in the head area . those fish for sure bit and spit and you had to have a fast hand beat them to the punch line ...
sure was tough on us , lots of laughs though and to be very sure I told my daughter an entire bottle of crappie nibbles for one fish is NOT a good thing
I swear she was just feeding the fish ,it became comical at some points watching so much hook setting and so much frustration on the missed bites, was pretty darn funny stuff ....
no worries though , I filled in a few gaps and we left we 40 or 50 or .so
somethings in life are truly priceless ....
watching that much hook setting and no fish coming up was priceless
the owner of the lake said he couldn't get a bite the day before we hit it and I said it was really tough to ketch a few , he said how many did you ketch?
I said we boxed 40 or 50 , he of course called bs and I said if you think I am kidding around , just go look in the ice chest my friend
and in the end ....
KABOOM is the word
p.s. I used a white jig , a pinkish white jig and a pink and white jig

We talked about how they aren't very accurate in their attack some on the SK live last night. Wonder if some of that was going on as well? Good times and in the end KABOOM happened. Thanks for sharing.

surely YES and to be very sure it was half hearted at best , you would be totally clueless you even got bit in many cases, really really tough fish to target no doubt , do not know how many times my line would lay limp a split second on the drop ....
and or lay up really well and not sink and nobody home on the hook set ....
i am pretty sure lots of the really quick bites were misses , pretty positive on that part ....
it was truly a test to see if you could ketch one , this is fact ...

Sometimes they's eatin and sometimes they's just tastin! Even with LS - sometimes it's hard to tell.

facts , summer fish will often appear to run up and look at jigs on LS and "IF" one were to look away a split second , they would notice that line laying up ......had many a fella say he is about to take it , when in FACT he already did .....
