Patience and perserverance: Two attributes that are needed when the fishing gets slow.
It's been said a million times: If you know your on fish don't leave them to find others. The fish will bite, but they will do so on their own schedule.
Once you learn these two simple but true statements and have the perserverance to keep casting and the patience to stay put then you will probably see an increase in your results.
Another important ingredient is the bait that you are throwing. A common question that we get is: How do you know what's good and when do you make a change. The first one is easy; try it. The second is change after you have put honest effort in making the bait work. This means, don't put it away after 5 casts and think that is honest effort. Bait jumping is a dangerous to your catching as is location jumping.
Scott and Glen Jurek of Illinois went to a tried and true location today and threw baits that have proven to be working in this area. The predominate bait at days end was the Senko and it produced 33 out of 35 bass. The fishing started slow, but we know the fish are there and Scott and Glen stayed put. Boats arrived and boats left because they didn't have the fish jumping in the boat. I hope they did well but probably while they ran about Scott and Glen were putting fish in the boat. The fish bit sporadically, but they did bite, and did bite in a location that hasn't changed for a few weeks now. No giant fish today, but plenty in the 3 and 4 pound class made the day very enjoyable.
See you on the water.
