Location: Illinois | From my experience, if a fish is ready, and you put the cast right on the spot, they're gonna eat. I'm not sure they take the time to analyze color or shape a whole lot. Most have had a fish hit a lure within the first 2 cranks. Movement has to be the only stimulus if they are in the mood to eat. IMO. |

| Another observation on Bill is on his figure 8 fish he does not set back into them. He sets down and away and rarely loses one. |

Depends where you fish
I'd say at a minimum 75% of the fish we boat on LOTW over 45" are caught at our feet.

Location: Maplewood, MN | A lot of interesting points here. I too saw the episode. I've noticed that when throwing the same lure over and over, you can really fine tune your presentation. When I first started out, phantoms were my lure of choice. I moved a ton of fish on them.
Something that needs to be mentioned again is that this is Lake of the Woods. I've fished Lake of the Woods twice, and it is a magical place. Nearly everywhere that looks like it should have a fish, does. |
