i ran into that same problem the last 2 times i fished there. i got some yellow bass jigging a blade bait near the 171 bridge, and marked alot of fish and bait around long hunter but couldnt buy a bite. but when i went it was windy, dirty water and miserable. So for ego sake, i boiled it down the fish were just being crabby. LOL
i wouldnt stay home, all them hungry fish gotta bite at some point.
