Was reading threw this old thread. My fish are extreamly hook shy, not so much the catfish because if I dont feed them just one day they bite. Its the bass, I actually dont like them. I cant catch any, not even small ones, they do not bite anything. I can see them cruzing, I see them blow up on sunnys, eat dragon flys, etc but I cant catch them anymore, them or the hybrid stripers. I bet if I quit feeding the stripers they would bite. Maybe my bass do have enough food, I dont know. Someone mention tiger bass? What are they, are they more agressive. Speaking of hybrids would it be possable to cross a striper and a LMB? Now that might be something.
