Densely packed, slow moving school of stripers showing no signs of interest for anything except to just keep cruising along

So that's what I experience this AM - didn't appear they were on the feed or anything even close. Anyone know the cause, or if there is a remedy to getting them to hit a lure?

Sometimes a PencilPopper worked violently in their mitts will piss them off and induce a strike.

Did you see them from the boat or shore?

Bunker snag!

Sometimes they are just on the move. They might have eaten heavily hours before.

They just felt like pissing you off. Lol

 

Make you throw your whole lineup and not give a F.

Bass seem to spend a fair bit of their day in water that's conducive to resting and digesting. Other times I think they'll poke around an area, sort of slowly investigating/slow search and destroy.. and grab a bite if something interesting pops up. Other hours are spent moving around and traveling.

 

None of these times feature keyed up bass that are aggressively feeding.

 

To trigger strikes on meh bass, I've found live eels usually do the trick better than most everything else. Or in place of those, soft plastic substitutes. My experience is eels will sometimes even get it done in daylight, while soft plastics may be ignored like other offerings by day..and instead will excel at night.

use a net , that will teach them to ignore your lure

top water plugs across their backs. i don't think a teaser would help when they are ignoring everything else. it's been said already, but try and piss 'em off.

Out of being a lazy bastard, I left my teezer leader on the rod when I switched to a pencil popper the other morning- a schoolie hit the teezer.
