[QUOTE=findingem;336254]If the line looks or feels different than normal, reel up and set the hook. Hook sets are still free.[/QUOTE]
This is true a lot of times. However, in some heavily pressured lakes/fish they'll just slap at it or play with it because they've seen it so much. This is when you got keep pestering them till they take it.
I always watch my line. I don't know how many times this year I've been turned around talking to a buddy and look back and my line is all over the place.
[quote=snavel;336136]Most of my fishing is at night and I'll have to say that I've had several bites where my line just swims off or doesn't sink to the bottom when I know the bait should still be falling and it is a bite that I don't feel. Happens fairly often for me. Going after them for two nights this weekend on Watts Barr. Good luck.[/quote]
Hey man don't forget to fish the cut thru from the lake going to the river-around 1 am in the morning-use to fish it alot--um i know a guy that got his butt kicked by a big smallie-lol :)
[quote=DJD;336135]Once in awhile I see the line jump but what I see more is the line moving to the side or it stopping when I know it shouldn't have.:)[/quote]
Ditto.....sometimes I dont even feel the strike, or its very suttle.....I just see the line swimming left or right.....BAM!! Give that ******* a concussion...lol
