How about a minnow instead of the worms? Baby bass still gonna rip it apart? I have had no success with the soft plastic drop shots these last 2 weeks. I can leave it down there and just jiggle away like I chugged a gallon of coffee all day and no matter where I throw I'm not getting bites. Trying to get creative to finally get some action on the other end of my line.
I typically spend 3-4 hours every day at one of the several local lakes and not finding a working strategy. Spinners, senkos, drop-shot, cranks, nothing. Minnows is the only thing I haven't tried this year but the guy I usually go with has been and his luck hasn't been any better. My favorite lake is listed at 85 acres and is stocked with over 9000 total fish each fall with cats, walleye, bass, pike, and muskies. There were 4 of us out there today from 6pm until about 9:30 and none of us got a single bite. We all spread out and try different lures through the day but they just seem to be lethargic right now. There was a +/- 14" LM about 15 feet out from me a few days ago and it just let my spinner run into it and it slowly swam away. Any advice is appreciated
