[QUOTE="3Roosters, post: 73364, member: 1351"] ahhh yes..those darn locked jaw fish at times!! What has worked for me on occasion for marked fish that don't want to bite, is I actually reel my lure back up the hole...get it out of the fishes sight if you will...kinda tease them if you will. Then drop lure back down so it thuds on the bottom. Some times it works..sometimes it doesn't..another thing I like to try is after I have reeled the lure up with a minnow head on it, I will either change out minnow heads or I will cut another portion off the minnow..so it is just a touch smaller. Other times...especially near dark, I will just reel in the lure if they aren't biting and RETAZE the lure with more light. Doing that has fooled many a walleye. Lastly have another rod set up with a different lure/color/weight presentation handy to change out in a moment to see if maybe that finicky fish wants another lure than what you have down there currently. Dang lock jawed fish sure makes things frustrating when you mark but they don't bite! [/QUOTE]
