About Lure avoidance and such of bass - 05/11/06 02:49 AM
I know this topic has been brought up before, but this a new twist: As some of you know I raise a good number of pellet fed bass in a pond that I get to about 3 lbs. for taxidermy schools, and the larger ones predominantly for individual taxidermists for their show rooms and competitions.
I used to be able to walk out on the pier and just drop a piece of crawler in front of the nose of any fish that I had selected and catch it. No more! If I walk out on the pier even at feeding time with a fishing pole in my hand they disappear! All 200 hundred of them! If I come back without the pole they slowly reappear! Additionally if anyone else goes out onto the pier, or with me, they also do the vanishing act. Water is quite clear and they can see me I'm sure.
Who said fish are stupid?
Thank goodness I will have my shocker apparatus operational in the future. It will be well worth it!
