I frequently hear that I keep drilIing until I find them. Do you guys keep trying new holes when you are marking them with no bites? I have to admit I don't.

If I'm marking fish I'll work on trying to get them to bite but if nothing is working in say 20 to 30 minutes I'll move.  The hardest thing to do is to leave fish to find fish.

I think it's easier to catch fish that bite than fish ones that are nuetral or negative . That being said it is hard to walk away from fish i will give them a chance but have no problem walking away from them. I just keep that spot in my head and will check it from time to time. I guess i don't have a lot of patience. But fish can turn on as fast as they can shut down. Just my theory doesn't always work. But i don't mind taking a beating once in a while not for everyone.

I agree. why continue to fish that hole if the fish are not in the mood? move and find willing fish. come back to see if they changed their mind. try different baits. I have fished a hole with a jig/waxie. can see fish on the screen but no takers. switched to same jig/spikes and BANG!

Depends on who I'm with and how much beer we bring ::).............Lol.. most of the time I have no problem moving off a school to find an active school! Though I've been worn down this year drilling all these dang holes with a hand anger! Think I'm gonna have to upgrade one day!

I agree and do this myself. If the fish ain't biting after twenty minutes it is time to move.....
