I am sort of new to the mfk but my advice would be to try to throw a shrimp hard against that water and see what happens. Also Ive heard you can lightly tie a piece of string to the shrimp and sort of dangle it so it looks like a fish. Again I'm new.
I threw silver sides and shrimp hard as heck in the water and nothing. Im thinking they will eventually eat if they are hungry enough...its been 5 days
I just dont know how long i can starve them for? I threw in superworms and nothing. They are only eating feeders
Tbh all depends on the bass. I’ve had one pbass that starved himself to death for 2 months. I would try to get it to eat shrimp 1st and add pellets with the shrimps later.. You’ll need to have a lot of patient and it’s going to be frustrating.
I have had this problem before. I have also read just to feed them feeders and once they know that every time they see you it means food. then after about a week I would alternate between feeders and shrimp. Throw one feeder than throw one shrimp.
