Harty1384 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I was fishing for skis on a lake last tuesday in the evening from about 4pm to 9pm and had 7 follows and not a single bite. Any one have any advice on what one could do to get a bite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivernut Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I've had luck switching colors, but I also alway's have another rod set up w/a soft plastic to throw in after a follow. Also try slowing your retreive speed down just a hair. Just my 2 cent's worth. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatSleepFish Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Try speeding up the lure before it reaches boatside, as to trigger a reaction strike. If using a straight retrieve you can also impart some erratic motion into the lure to make the lure appear as if it is trying to evade the musky.

muskiedreams Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I agree with eatsleepfish another thing i do is go deep on your figure 8 as your doing the eight throe quick erratic ss in there good trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 When I get lots of follows and no takers I switch to smaller lures and burn them back to try and get a reaction strike. Either they take it or they dont, you dont get those lazy follows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
