I caught some yesterday but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing that happened to me 6 or 7 times yesterday. I was fishing in Spencer Creek and I had my worm get a small tap and then the line starts off moving sideways. I set the hook and nothing. The hit is not a bluegill.

I did catch one bass that was 3 lb. but when it bit I would have swore it was a bluegill. The ones I caught yesterday hit very weird.

Are the bass on beds and just grabbing my worm by the tail and moving it off?

Last Wednesday the same thing happened to me using a wacky worm. I missed so many fish! I think it is fish on beds just moving the worm off. I think switching to a jig will help. The same thing happened to me at a pond I was fishing sunday too, switched to a jig and had 4 bites and 4 hookups.

How's the water color on OHL? I usually fish around Lebanon access points.

Blink, switching to a jig was actually was I was thinking too. Did not really have a set for a jig with me yesterday. I will be using one in the days to come.

The water in Spencer Creek toward the mouth was not too bad. Station Camp is a mud hole with stuff floating everywhere.

Use a lizard t-rigged for bedding bass, they think they are there to eat eggs or fry and will hit it hard!
