Here's an easy way to soak the pellets and all it takes to sink them is pinch them to increase the density. A slow sinking hydrated pellet done correctly will be hard to resist. And like Eric says graduate to the floaters.
In a ziplock back mix 2.5 parts Aquamax 500 to 1 part water. Keep turning the bag over and over again in your hands for about a minute. Then lay the bag down and flip it over several times every 30 seconds for a few minutes. Wait about 1 -2 hours and the pellets will have the consistency of clay -- not sticky or runny which is annoying.
Another possibility is your bass even though feed trained won't feed on floating pellets until they get acclimated to the cage for a few days. I've had this happen before.
It could also be the time of day your are feeding as Vaheelsfan says.
