Was able to get out from 4:30-7:00 today after work. Guy was coming out as I went in who had fished for 3hrs. and had no fish. He even had caught his own shad and tried that to no avail.
Headed out to a good feeder creek on the river. Water in the river was 50, as soon as got into the mouth of the creek it went up to 54. By the time I got to the top of the creek it was 60! As I went up the amount of baitfish was incredible. It was wall to wall baitfish. I saw some bass and smaller fish but I could not get a thing to hit either. Any bass in that creek could have a meal anytime he wanted without hardly moving. I don't believe the fish were biting but then I don't know how much competition I was for millions of shad. It was however intoxicatingly beautiful out though, and that was enough.
Does anyone have any experience on getting bass to hit under these conditions? Thanks for any tips and have a great weekend!
