Do you persevere with one lure?
Having caught 3 bass on a particular lure during a previous session, I opted to stick with this one last trip out. I trolled for nigh on 4 hrs without a touch, changing lures every half hour on my other rod. I guess it was just one of those days as nobody else had any luck either that day. The only fish I caught was when I chucked a soft unweighted Z Man at some lily plads and got smashed first cast.............just my luck as it was time to head off.
So do you tend to stick with a proven lure when fishing is tough, or do you change lures if not getting any hits? Also, how can you guage what depth a spinnerbait is travelling at? I tried a lighly weighted beetlespin 1/16th oz and placcy on the troll but kept hitting bottom at 10ft. I thought it would travel higher than that at around 3 knotts
cheers
