| Every year early in the season we all have follows that are low and slow. These follows range from chasing topwaters, to ripping crank baits. All with the same results. It does tend to happen more on clear lakes more than stained, and when it does, do you tend to stick it out hoping that those fish will have a change in attitude, or do you cut and run for a different lake hoping that the results will change? For the record, I had two of these follows yesterday and stuck it out, and the fish never really became interested.
Sometimes losing is winning. | |

Location: WI | I stick it out. They're going to eat sometime. At least contacting fish will put the odds in your favor. | |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Lazy follows are located fish. Go back on them at prime time, weather change or moon rise/set. I like to use minnow baits and try to trigger strikes by ripping and aggressively twitching the baits. Some baits can just trip their trigger by being aggressive. Gliders can find fish in spring but get lots of slow and low follows. Cast back with a minnow bait with an aggressive retrieve and trigger a reaction strike. sometimes even burning a bucktail will trigger lazy fish. When all else fails drop a sucker in their face. That's my ace in spring. | |
