Well this is not sounding good at all.Maybe we shouldn't feed our fish. Or maybe fatten them up for about 2 years and then cut the food off making them easier to catch.What is the big deal of trophy fish if they won't bite?
Tongue in cheek I know.
I can't catch LMB in my pond that have been eating AM600 after catching them a few times on imitation pellets. But, after seeing them chase after YP that were feeding on pellets, I caught many on a YP imitation jerk bait.
I've also noticed that the LMB in my pond are easier to catch after a 6 month period of no fishing for them under the ice, than they are to catch in the fall after seeing fishing pressure all spring/summer.
