Whoops ;D

I know what yours is so far this year!

It's interesting to see what, when, and how people utilize different techniques to catch fish in different parts of the country. For instance I haven't thrown a lipped crank since I started fishing and was in the stage where I threw everything Bill Dance endorsed. For other people it's their most important technique. I'm sure it's great, I just despise it.

I mostly fish in smaller lakes or ponds, and target big fish. So, I throw bottom contact, big fish baits most of the time. The Baby Craw was a surprise for me. Used correctly, it can catch some hawgs.

Honorable mentions go to a Zoom Trick Worm.

Right on Cliff. I lean toward a beaver style bait over an actual craw though. BTW, It's still snowing.

On different techniques, that was the surprise of the earlier thread. Of the 149 responses, there was just not a simple pattern. Here's a comment by RW to one of my comments:

One thing for sure - we're proving that bass can be caught on just about everything! ;D ;D

I'm actually kind of surprised. Silly me, I thought we would see a lot more commonality. I guess I need to print this thread or take some notes!

tholmes reply :

Most productive in the waters I fish:

1. Lipless crankbait, chrome/blue, shad or brown craw.

2. T-rigged ribbon-tail worm. Purple or tequila sunrise, green pumpkin, black.

3. Jig w/trailer. Blue/black, green/brown.

Of course there are times when spinnerbaits, diving crankbaits, Spooks, Jitterbugs, jerkbaits, etc. are the ticket, but the three I've listed are my "try it first" baits.

Sometimes on a shakyhead, but most of the time on a 2/0 or 3/0 EWG hook.
