Ok what the heck am I doing wrong? EVERYONE tonight caught at least 1, if not more, and me and my woman are the only ones who didnt. I played with a corky/bead/yarn combo I have, spoon, spinner, and a straight yarn'd hook. Ive casted, and varied depth of 0-15 seconds waiting after it hits the water, and varied retrieval speed. Fished different spots, and found pools and drop offs. Soooooooooooooooooo. What else could I do differently?
Oh and to add to things ive been trying, keeping a positive attidtude and enjoying the gorgeous skies the past couple days. But now im frustrated!
Somehow I doubt you have done anything wrong. Pinks are really aggressive fish and will grab just about anything some days.
There have been other days when I have been out there and experienced exactly what you did. Just last weekend there was I guy next to me & my nephew hauling them in and we were getting nothing in spite of changing up presentations (spoons/spinners/pink/green/red/blue), retrieve speeds depths. Other days this week have been way better. Unfortunately, there is just no accounting for the behavior of fish in spite of how much we all *think* we know.
[Don't know why but this year I seem to be doing best with pink spinners - don't know why. More than likely that's just what I have developed faith in. Last season they seemed to be willing to grab just about anything]
Keep at it and, trust me you, will be rewarded
