LOL, I wish the fish would read the books i've been reading.
Actually, when I do land a fish on a specific rig, I don't change rigs until i've worked the successful set up for an ample amount of time. If the same retrieve doesn't work, i'll change it. Next, i'll change the color, next the lure. Something about the first lure worked, rather it was the action, color, sound, or a combo of either/or. Sometimes it's just a matter of getting the lure right in their face and they strike out of territorial instinct.
I actually went to the river today, and not a bite. No one has caught a fish for the last three days. The last place I stopped on the river was under the bridge. I could see the fish around the pilons, and I know they were crappie, but I couldn't get a hit. Maybe next time. LOL, that's fishin'
