this might seem like a silly question but...are you sure you're not just catching the same fish over and over again? It could be a really stupid fish that never learned his lesson.
I have been fishing maybe ten times in my life and I have caught one fish in all the times I've benn fishing. Meanwhile the 6 year old I went fishing with was catching gar and gators and big ole ugly fish. I was quite discouraged. Then there is the whole sitting still thing. Doesn't work for me.
LMAO. Nope, not the same Bassy LOL. There just happened to be an abundance 15 to 20 pound class Striped Bass around that night on the flats in the river. Actually, throughout this season, I have seen more 15-20# class fish than I have in years past. This is a good thing!
You can pretty guarantee its the same fish when you are on the flats, in water between 2 to 5 feet, and the fish are being spooked by the boat......you're literally surrounded by Stripers. They are everywhere, just busting the surface like crazy.
I am about to post the Mastadon fish I caught this Tuesdee night.
