What to use?

Ya got me! I spent all afternoon today "trying" to get one of these fish to BITE...something...nada, zilch, bupkis, zero.

Had fish (dozens and dozens) rolling 15 yds out in front of me all afternoon, weighing (my guess since I never caught one) 5-10 lbs..some small, some big.

Wouldn't touch a thing..sand shrimp, shrimp, pink yarn and corkie with scent & w/o scent. Plunked a bare red hook out there with a tad of pink yarn..still nothing.

I could easily have tossed any spoon, spinner into that mess of fish and caught one...most likely foul-hooked. I don't do "business" that way..but dang...gotta admit even I was temped.

(Even worse, I tried to find a new trail out of the area I was in...found myself 100 yds. from the dirt road in a shoulder-high field of solid blackberries grown over clearcut..had to bully my way back to the riverbank and walk out the way I came in...500 yds. longer, but much less painful!)

I would be happy to show you the fish...but haven't a clue as to tell you how to catch one. Just drop me a PM when your headed out this way.
