What to do with Bluebird days?
Message:
Hey all: Got a total bluebird day on Sunday and fishing was pretty poor....What do the fish do during these high pressure events and how/what to catch them? Thanks for any knowledge you can impart. Brennan

along with the bluebird skys the other day you also had clear water and even the possibility of post spawn activity. high preassure days i slow down alot, tx rigged worms, fineses worms and the best ive seen for clear water is a dropshot. you can work it shallow or deep.

My $.02 In the non-spawn times of year, the bass tend to hunker down and the bite gets a lot tougher. This doesn't mean they can't be caught,..but it will take more effort, so it pays to adjust your mindset before you even start fishing to keep from getting discouraged! They will bury up in the thickest cover that they can find and their strike zone gets a lot smaller. My game plan is usually to use a heavy weight and flip into thick vegetation. I don't work the bait much,..I'm trying to hit them on the head and get a reaction strike so the more drops that i make with the bait the better my chances are of getting it close enough for one to bite. It's strictly a statistical thing! If that's not your style, then you can do the same thing with a moving reaction bait like a jerkbait or a rattletrap (the KVD approach..),....just plan on it taking more casts per fish than normal and space your casts closer to each other since the fish will take a swipe at your bait if it gets close enough but they won't chase it very far! During the spawn,..I would just go striper fishing instead! :lol: :lol:
