One Bait stranded on a lake/ winter time 50 degree days and 35 degree nights water temp in mid 40's 2024

Chrisb1 reply :

I was sitting around thinking about this, if I was stranded on a fresh water 5000 acre lake and the days were in the 50-60's and water temps were in the mid 40's....What would be my one lure I would choose for survivals?

I keep think about a trusted rooster tail for the varieties of fish.

So what would you choose?

Title says bait...post says lure...I don't want/need a lure. Size 4 circle hook and some line/string....nightcrawlers will get you all the fish you need to survive....from just about ANY lake

JLWoodman reply :

Good question...

First I would try to find some deep schooled up bass and try to fire them up with a deep crank. Then it would either be a Ned rig or a shaky head.

So if I had to choose one it would be the Ned rig.

Chrisb1 reply :

Interesting all the different response. Now remember you are stranded and have to eat what you catch. I have to honestly say I have never had bass, any insight into the flavor of My favorite fish?

Hogsticker reply :

Too many variables. That being said, without targeting any specific species, I'll take a jig head / grub / and a chunk of nightcrawler.

Spankey reply :

Berkeley Power Tube or 4" Power Worm. Life or death I'm pretty sure I could make something with these or one of these.

primetime reply :

I would try to kill the person who was holding me hostage and forcing me to fish one bait and only one bait. What kinds of person would make a Guy fish with only one lure? Only a Communist would make a rule like that.

I would Probably bring a Tube and worm weight and worm hook if that counts as one. Also sneak a jig head in my pocket as I can fish a tube as a fluke, Topwater, bottom, most importantly I could pitch into cover.

I would normally say a jig but I think A tube can be modified so many ways and can be used for any technique. Plus in Florida, Tubes are not popular with many guys making them work better.

Favorite color Tube. black Red Flake works best 99% of the time, not sure why, but they love Black and red flake in Florida and they did up north as well.

I've go with a spinner bait.

Bassguytom reply :

If I had to catch food it would be a Blade Bait. You can catch a lot of diffrent fish in a day with a blade bait. If I just had to fish with one bait it would be an LC Pointer 78 in sexy shad.

scaleface reply :

I would be trying to catch fish not just bass .I would pick a 1/8th ounce yellow marabou jig . I could catch fish on them when I was 8 , I can catch fish on them now .

MassYak85 reply :

Probably a tiny hair jig small enough for panfish.

OCdockskipper reply :

I would choose a different scenario, preferably one with warmer weather and dozens of beautiful women depending on me to supply the food.

RoLo reply :

Since the word "survival" is in the mix, you will need a durable lure for all seasons

and all water temperatures. To that end I would opt for a 'Bucktail Jig" (plastic trailers are not durable).

After the first fish was caught, a fresh bait-strip would be added to the jig ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This, except I would want one of the old stainless steel ones Terminator used to make since it will need to last me a while.

Yeajray231 reply :

I have a stainless #5 mepps I used to catch pike with that is over a decade old. It still runs well. And isnt rusted out.

Angry John reply :

What Lake? Depends on the lake. And this is a catch fish or die scenario?

Chrisb1 reply :

Guys there so many good ideas, after think awhile I would probably add a drop shot with real worm or crawfish if I could find them

Dogmatic reply :

Keitech swing impact fat on a ewg. 4.8" or 5.8". Or a senko.?
