05/13/20 – The Weekender’s Edge With Nick Simonson

Follow Up Work. For common sight-fished game species like pike, muskies, bass, and trout, a follow or a missed strike doesn’t mean the game is over, go back with a new perspective to find success, like this 19.5-inch largemouth which came on a slowed-down stickbait after an initial swing and a miss. If a fish doesn’t take a bait, go back after it with the same lure and a modified retrieve or something different and perhaps a bit slower. Simonson Photo.
