"How fast do fish get "wise.".
It all depends...........
I have worn out quite a few lures catching LMB at our pond, the last year I kept track of LMB, mostly from our pond and some public lakes, the end of the year count was 1435 LMB caught and released. That was 1993 and the year of the rattle trap, in addition, the LMB were overpopluated with not enough food to forage on in our pond, it was like catching fish out of a barrel. When fish are skinny and hungry, it can take quite a while for them to get "wise". When they are well satiatied and forage base is very abundant, it doesn't take near as long.
