Kids do that all the time. Try something unconventional and land fish.My son caught a few yesterday. We were Fishing the bottom, I told him you have to leave the bait there stop casting and reeling it in, be patient. He told me " It's a technique I've caught three fish you've caught none" Lol. I told him you might be onto something.View attachment 363560View attachment 363561View attachment 363562
Yeas ago when my son was 10 or 11 we were in the canoe fishing for bass in the edge cover. Using Texas rig and Carolina rig soft plastics. Getting nothing......but it usually worked for me pretty well. My son asks if he can try something else and rummaged through the tackle box and finds an old 6 inch long stick bait I had in the bottom. I told him that ain't gonna work but I'll tie it in for you.....the thing is a HUGE lure way to big for bass Inna small pond (so I thought). First cast he lands a 5 pound bass.
