What's the cure for a "following" bass

[Tim_T]

A 12 ga. in number 7 1/2 or 8 shot works, but it disturbs thing quite a bit LOL! I have always tried to throw something a little bit different and a little bit slower. More often than not, If I am throwing a spinnerbait, I will usually follow up with a fluke. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

That's funny right there!

I know this is going to sound funny but it does work alot of the time. Take your rod tip and make a figure 8 and this will cause the crankbait or swimbait to turn and swim toward the bass causing the bass to hit the lure due to a reaction strike. If you catch the fish GREAT!! put your bass in the livewell and tie on a different color and speedup your retrieve . If you don't catch the bass tie on a different color, speedup your retrieve and hope you have better luck.

I just usually give up........BREAK my crap over my knee........SLAM the throttle down, and go home to drink some bud light........

Just some things you cannot MAKE them thar fish do, and that is eat.

AND then I get to hear from all my buddies, how they kicked the CRAP out of the fish........

Or I get to watch my buddy fish oh say 50 yards from me, and WHACK the CRAP out of a few 4 pounders, and lose a 10 pounder..........

BUT hey........that's fishin.

Thanks for all the help! I'm always afraid of fishing too fast but if you say "speed up!" then I sure will and I'd rather throw a 1/2 oz spinnerbait than a 3/8oz anyday. I'm going back Saturday so I'll report how everything works out.

As tempting as it sounds I'll skip the shotgun trick for now. lol
