oh yeah bro . one thing for certain and especially in the winter . super slow and patient will wax em
seen the same thing a zillion times myself ...guy beside me the other day a prime example ...
working fast back and forth and up and down ...
i dropped in right by him and stood still like a statue and hammered a really big crappie and had to tell him best stand clear bro this fish is about be getting some big air in your direction ....LOL
one fella the day before was watching me windmill fish and couldn't get bit and was jiggity like crazy and sad he couldn't get a bite and i reached over and grabbed his rod and STOP it ....they wont bite a jig doing that . you have to hold it VERY still this time of year ....
the EXACT second i let go of his rod after the conversation he got whacked .....
