For sure Complicated

[Ketchn]

I went on a little adventure with a bud yesterday to a spot I have not visited in 2 years ,we met up with the local crew and the fish were supposed to know and cooperate . This was not the case . the 6 of us struggled to get bit . the portable graph said they were under us in numbers .
I tried about 20 different colors and sizes and ONLY one bait got bit ! and to make it worse after I changed up over and over I went back to it and it got bit some more !
Why are these fish so complicated I ask ya …...and then so uncomplicated ?
Some days its chicken and some days it chicken feathers I suppose .
the funny thing is I wouldn't have picked this particular bait out of the arsenal but when I got there I needed a heavier presentation and put it on with a larger jighead .
sometimes I just don't get it , I think in 2 hours the 6 of us only managed about 20 keepers and about that many plus a few on toss backs .
Some only managed 1 or 2 fish and if it wasn't a fairly dark color it wasn't something the fish were interested in .
And yet another fyi , scent played no role in it either , I tried all the scents I had and none worked . Only this jig bare and ever so slightly rising from about 25 foot down in 35 foot of water …..
AND on a final note ,the minnow folks got ZERO bites ….what the heck right ?
back to the drawing board I guess
