It just means they will position themselves on the best spots waiting for prey to come to them. A good cast, with a fast retrieve to a quality big fish spot gets bit. Adults eat at the table, and kids snack in the pantry. If your catching little ones with fast baits you are in the pantry.

If it gets looked at too much, it aint getting bit. 9 times out of 10 they get bit on the fall.... Ie reaction strike. Not sure what that tells you, but i know what it tells me...
Misinformation and a lack of comprehension is rampant in bass fishing unfortunately. As soon as someone says "im a local, i fish here 2-3 times a week" i laugh. Many guys from seattle, spokane, or tri cities could show you how to fish your lake. Or any other...

6/28/2014 5:15:00 PMnot even close to being wrong. one reason big fish get big is because they learn to check out their prey before eating it, most of the time. that is one reason big fish like, and get caught on, slow moving jigs. also flippin can be a reaction bite or fished VERY slow, try doing both on the same cast. laid back fish won't eat the fast flip, but will/can grab the slow presentation, therefore THAT isn't a reaction strike. by the way rap, how long have you been fishing for bass? just wondering. Yes people new to a lake can do great, as 'old timers' to the lake get stuck in a certain techniques/patterns and spots, which anybody that's bass fished for more than say 10 years, can have that happen, nothing new there.
