figure-8

[cupper]

Yesterday I had a 40" fish follow my spinner bait all the way to the boat so I started to figure-8... after about a minute of figure-8'ing the fish lost intrest. Is there something more I could/should have done to trigger a strike?

The fish kept her nose about a cm off of my bait the whole time!!!

I just went through the same thing up on Canyon Lake in Ontario. I just kept working the baits. Continued figure 8's, changing depths, short casts and various manipulations of jigging, twitches and changes in speed - boated 3 out of 5 muskies after the follow. Persistence pays off. One followed up a Cisco Kid and I had to switch to a DDD to entice him to strike. He took over 20 minutes. The other two were caught on a black and orange Pacemaker.
