Can bass hear my trolling motor or me moving around the boat?
Yes. Low-frequency sound and vibration — trolling motor prop wash, a dropped pliers on an aluminum hull, heavy footfalls — carry well through water and register on both the inner ear and the lateral line. The good news: a steady, constant hum is far less alarming than sudden changes, and cover-hugging largemouth typically tighten to their ambush spot rather than flee. Run the motor at constant speed, avoid banging the hull, and make your longest casts on the calmest, clearest days.
