whats everyones first lure they throw when you get on the water?
Lipless crank bait
something top water, jitter bug, popper or zoom toad or vibe worm, or work flukes close to the surface.
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.
Lipless crank or rage rigged worm.
Lipless crank or a T-rigged worm.

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.
will lipless cranks work on inactive fish?
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
Jitterbug, unless there is a specific reason that day not too, such as cold water or dense weeds on the surface.
6" Zoom Lizard, watermelon red.

Man I got 2 nice keeper size today doing that method. Learned it from my buddy Flyfishman.
I always start top water. Buzz bait, pop'r, and Rage toads. After that, the process of elimination begins.
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.
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
Jig with large trailer like a brush hog.
Most of the time im starting with a rage craw but depending on the time of year i may start with a jerkbait
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.
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".
Baby bass colored zoom super fluke just bellow the surface.

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...
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
Spook. Even if its 95 degrees and blazing sun
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.

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