Bass in shallow clear water

[Murr2345]

I got a question about bass in shallow clear water. last weekend i threw a live worm with a small hook on fluorocarbon line and the bigger bass could care less about it. some wouldn't even look at the bait and a couple others would look for a second then swim away. is this a case of being in a negative mood or have this fish been caught a-lot? i was just letting the worm do its thing and sink slowly on free-line.

Maybe the fish saw you. Also, if it is a well known body of water those bass probably see live worms all the time.

You were maybe too loud while going to target the fish. If the fish get spooked then they won’t be active for a while. Also I suggest using a Texas rigged finesse worm to catch these shallow water bass
