Right now the bite is slow for me.
The one lure that is keeping things interesting is the swimming senko.
Red hues are working well, which is definitely not the usual color preference.
what about y'all?
Gettin' cold up here now, quit fishin' awhile ago but this is still an easy question. Today, tomorrow, last summer or next....my favorite lure is a Black/green flake skirt on a 1/2 oz GMAN Poison Tail jig with either a Jet Black or Junebug/blue claw Producto Craw. I could catch fish on that jig this weekend with a switch to #11 pig in Moss Green doused in BANG crawdad....as long as we don't build too much ice. I have NEVER fished bass in November here in MN, but I'd bank it all on a jig right now. No pops or hops, just little twitches and dead stick it for 15 minutes.
well its pretty simple for me: Chart./White spinnerbait.
A Bagley Killer B1 - round lip.
This, of course, changes by the minute.
I just got a little crank from BIG M that I have a feeling is going to spending a lot of time occupying the "favorite" slot.
Black/blue Booyah Jig 3/16 - 5/16ounce with YUM 3.5 inch Chunk in black/blue as trailer. Or a Black Strike King Bitsy Bug Jig 1/16 - 1/8ounce and for trailer either YUM 2.75 inch Chunk in black/blue or bluefleck, or Netbait Paca Chunk 3 inch black/blue.
Bandit 100 series crank has been hot lately.
A black zoom finesse worm.
Now the fronts have settled in here in Florida, Id have to say a trick worm junebug or black deadsticked.Its also kind of a toss up though as the dt flat 3-7 in chart purple back has been killer banging off of any rocks I can find.
I cant catch a cold with a swimsenko,but may not be the magic wand on the waters that I frequent.Im sure they work at some places so I have plenty of them just in case.
It's getting cold up here in Va too. I am switching from my summer wacky rigged ZOOM Finesse, YUM Dinger and Tiki Stick presentations to a jig-n-crawtail.
I think I'll fish mostly with my peanut-butter jelly jig and my home made jig craw tails...
PS: That crawtail has been bit more than once lol! It is still intact so I will continue to use it until I need to change lol...
I would have to go with a white spinnerbait with red in it.
Bagley KB2 Splatterback or Megabass Cyclone (japanese color name) in Brown/Pearl sides...
3/8 oz. blue olive pro top secret jig with a watermelon *** beaver craw trailer.
3/8 weedless Chompers football jighead with a watermelon red flake GYCB Double tail hula grub. Dragging it on the bottom.
Daylight savings time has now killed my fishing however. :'(
Lures are just tools of the trade. There should be no "favorite". It all depends on time of the year and water temperature as to what to use. Keep in mind depth and speed control and your "tool" selection will be a lot easier. Right now, here in N.E., the water temps are falling from the 50's to the mid 40's with winter rapidly approaching. So I have to slow way down & target deeper fish. Jigs are in. Silver Buddies are in. Ikas are in. And I don't discount the drop shot either. Lots of tools for this time of the year, depending on where you find the fish and the type of structure you encounter.
same lure all year and some of last year. This little guy
Right now my favorite lure has to be the 1/2 oz Magnum Belly dancin' jig in the fuscia shad color made by P&K custom baits, I have been using it like a swim jig and the fish have been killing it more so than the spinnerbaits my buddies have been throwing behind me.
I have not had much with crankbaits lately but most of the creature type baits (lizards, grubs, and GYCB Kreatures) and senkos have been great for me the past couple of weeks. They have been hitting on pumpkin colors with black flake.
No favorites here. I have some confidence baits and a box or two that I will not tie on unless the money is on the line.
Well I sure as heck have favorite baits - - - and I'll even throw them when they aren't even the best baits for the conditions... .......it's just more fun to fish crankbaits.
50" Panasonic Plasma TV. It's what I use to catch all my favorite fishing shows on Saturday morning!
Real Fishing all done for me in New England - my boat has been winterized and it's been cold!
Mattlures new swimbait! Well, I haven't actually fished it yet, but it has that potential.
Overall this year: The Mircro Munch Tackle 1/2 oz jig, Mattlures Baby Bass, GYCB Kreature and Cavitron Buzzbait.
brown crayfish pattern bomber model a tossed along riprap
Right now with the cold temps in Rhode Island, I'm diggin this Yo Zuri Ratllin Vibe.
Can't wait til tomorrow! Power fishin' :)
This could change anyday, but currently my best bites are coming from a texas rigged 6" Zoom u-tail in " watermelon red", with my number two bait being an origanal Rattle Trap in "lake chub".
This time of year jigs and softplastics.
Jigs and tubes work for me. The last time out we caught 40 bass largemouth and spots mostly on black/blue jigs and smallmouth on melon pepper 4" tubes. I use both of those all year long.
Husky Jerk size 10 in baby bass and perch
bandit 100's and 200's have been producing well for me lately, chartruese shad and chrome tenn. shad
