The last few trips to Green Lake , (other than just before dark), I haven’t been able to hold the rod in my hand and catch many fish. My dead sticks are catching fish, but not the one in my hand. I’m not talking about feeling a change in my line and missing a hook set. I’m talking about not getting bit at all.
The only thing I can think of is that with the neurological damage I have , that at best the stillest I can hold the rod is a small vibration and the fish are too finicky to even want that? But if they are finicky why will they grab, pull the tip down and hold on till I set the hook on the deadsticks???? On the rare occasions that I do get a bite , hooksetting is not a problem.
Is anybody else seeing the same kind of bite.
