Default huge bass won't bite!

I'm sure she will, but i just can find out WHAT she'll bite. the water is GIN clear. It is a 30 acre pond/lake. I can see bottom in the deepest parts (25-40 feet depending on exact location). weedy bottom all the way down there, with some breaks that appear to be sandy bottom. Was an old rock quarry, steep drops in places, and lots of cat tails on the banks. I saw a MASSIVE bass yesterday, and i threw EVERYTHING at her. Water temp is about mid 60s to low 70s at about 7-10 feet. There are a ton of bluegill and perch in the pond, along with largemouth and smallmouth bass, and even some trout. no minnows or shad (the owner does not want them to disrupt the balance). There are some crayfish in there along the rocky shorelines.

I tried:

jig & trailers
t-rigs (large and small)
c-rigs (large and small)
weightless rigs
cranks
spinnerbaits (5 or 6 different colors and sizes)
spinners
buzzbaits (same as spinerbaits)
topwaters (poppers, prop baits, and cigar type)
hair jigs
nightcrawlers and crayfish

everytime something dropped in front of her, no matter how slowly or how easily it entered the water, she just turned around and looked the other way.

i'm stumped. Bass 1, Rob 0
my grampa said "well, maybe she's just not a hungry critter"

if anyone has a miracle lure, let me borrow it?? ;D

it was not a total loss though, with all the things i tried, i got plenty of 1s and 2s.


Good Fishin
Rob
