fishing user avatarMCS reply : 

something top water, jitter bug, popper or zoom toad or vibe worm, or work flukes close to the surface.


fishing user avatarBassAssassin726 reply : 

Depends on the situation. But usually i start topwater and go down from there. Always have a Zara Spook, spinnerbait, crankbait, jig, and a worm.

I just recently got into twitching weightless flukes on the surface or just below really early in the mornings right before and as the sun pokes over the horizon and man theyre awesome. Fish cant stand that erratic twitching action.


fishing user avatarTNBassin' reply : 

Lipless crank or rage rigged worm.


fishing user avatartholmes reply : 

Lipless crank or a T-rigged worm.

fishing user avatarQuitlimpin reply : 

If I have any expectation of a top water bite, I'll throw a buzzbait for 15-20 casts--if no bite, a pop r for 15-20 casts. If I'm not getting bit, out comes the t-rig and the fat ika.


fishing user avatarMIbassin reply : 

will lipless cranks work on inactive fish?


fishing user avatarHighhawk1948 reply : 

As fall starts I am throwing a Cordell Spot, lipless crankbait, red crawdad or bleeding shad.

I do the same with a senko,got to try the flukes sometime.Although they love the senko's so much I find it hard to commit to something else.

The action of a proper twitch is just too hard for them to resist.................lol


fishing user avatarMarty reply : 

Jitterbug, unless there is a specific reason that day not too, such as cold water or dense weeds on the surface.


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

6" Zoom Lizard, watermelon red.

Man I got 2 nice keeper size today doing that method. Learned it from my buddy Flyfishman.


fishing user avatarSGT Rico reply : 

I always start top water. Buzz bait, pop'r, and Rage toads. After that, the process of elimination begins.


fishing user avatarTuckahoe Joe reply : 

I like to get to the lake right around sunrise and the topwater bite is usually pretty good so most of the time I throw a frog. Started fishing crankbaits recently and been having a lot of luck so I might try them the next morning I go out and see how I do.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Depends on the time of year.

Winter-jerkbait/jig depending on water temp

Spring-jerkbait/spinnerbait/buzzbait again depending on water temp

Summer-buzzbait

Fall-buzzbait/spinnerbait


fishing user avatarrockchalk06 reply : 

Jig with large trailer like a brush hog.


fishing user avatarpaul25 reply : 

Most of the time im starting with a rage craw but depending on the time of year i may start with a jerkbait


fishing user avatarMarkH024 reply : 

It depends on what time of day, season, and where I'm fishing. Early morning I'll throw a top water bait or some other search bait. Swim jig/ Lipless Crank.


fishing user avatarNEjitterbugger reply : 

Start with 7" Slug-O or 7.5"Culprit....If the situation is set for it i will throw a jitterug (my favorite lure), then ill prob throw a jerkbait then put a jig head on with a watermelon lizard usually 7".


fishing user avatarBayoubassin8 reply : 

Baby bass colored zoom super fluke just bellow the surface.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

PopMax


fishing user avatardeep reply : 

I have so little time to fish this semester that I went 100% big bass mode, and 0% fun fishing stuff. So it's been either a jig or a swimbait lately...


fishing user avatarfisher of bass reply : 

I like to wake the fish up with a lipless crank or spinnerbait,then follow up with jig,fluke or wacky senko depending on the type of bottom and depth


fishing user avatarfishking247 reply : 

Spook. Even if its 95 degrees and blazing sun


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

My routine is the same when I luanch my boat, unless I know where the bass are located at the time I start fishing. The first things I do are; look at the water to check it's clarity and if I can see any bass or baitfish by the dock next to the luanch ramp. Next I check the surface water temp, start up the OB and let it idle, put the trolling down, turn on the sonar and do a quick check around the marina area to determine how deep the bass or bait is or if there is a thermocline. Then I get a few rods ready; usually a jig rod, a worm rod and a swimbait rod. Depending on what seasonal period it is I may get out a top water, crankbait or spoon rod.

If I have a favorite lure it is a jig, followed by a swimbait and it depends on the time day or night it is which lure I feel best about casting first.

fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

Generally a buzzbait early before sunrise. When the water is too cold for topwaters, generally my first lure is a spinnerbait.
