[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 73363, member: 8014"] I've had a few situations this year where the fish simply destroy my lure and it's an easy catch. I've also had those moments where I mark the fish on the vex, but it's a battle to get them to trigger, and bite. What do you do to get these finicky fish to bite? The tactic that has been working best for me, as of late, is, if I see them leave, I'll immediately pound the bait into the ground 2-3 times quickly then do a small quick twitch with the bait just barely off the ground. I don't know if it over-triggers their 'it's wounded' mechanism or what ... I know that there are many options for trying to get that tough bite. So what do you do? [/QUOTE]
