What Lure And Presentation Has Been Hot For You This Summer? 2024
papajoe222 reply :
For me, it seems that every summer a different lure or presentation seems to stay hot. Last year it was deep cranks fished shallow. This year, it's been shallow cranks fished deep. I can only recall a couple of years in a row when the same lure/presentation was the hot one.
What has it been on your favorite lake?

Senko, senko... Then we tried senko and it worked

X2 ~ For me as well.
The 6th Sense Crush Flat X75 square bill has been the hot bait.
It's been effective in both clear & off colored water.
Been fishing it shallow & a little deeper ( in 8-15 ft) and the bass have been chewing the paint off it.

Year after year, can't beat a drop shot for SMB.
Mike2841 reply :
For me this year I've probably caught more on a drop shot than everything else I throw combined. My 3 biggest bass came off a chatterbait, frog, and swim jig in that order.
gulfcaptain reply :
Consistantly grass jigs for me. Unfortunately the county/city lakes I fish decide to spray them with Copper Sulfate to kill the grass which then kills my bite because apparently the people walking aroud the parks think the grass looks ugly.
Catch and Grease reply :
Buzzbaits have been producing well this summer, Texas rigged craws have too, square bill cranks have been getting me alot...
Hattrick7 reply :
Red eye shad, purple zoom Ole monster, PBJ & army green jigs
lmbfisherman reply :
Last year it was the super fluke, this year my go to has been a squarebill..shallow or deep. Other than my standard white/cht spinnerbait that I seem to always kill with.
Mike L reply :
The biggest bites for me have come on 10" red flake Anaconda, and a june bug Rage Craw.

In the beginning of summer the Ol Monster couldn't be beat. Midsummer was the jig, now it is the brush hawg.
Ginosocalbass reply :
Top water swimbaits, bb1 jr/ Jackall Mikey 6.4 have been dinomite all summer for me. Also I fish an Old Devils Horse, that has been excellent on in small fish lakes.
MarksHooked reply :
I bought all these d**n lures during my winter cabin fever, but all I ever seem to have tied on is a DS with various plastics, or a weightless 5" Senko...
Jar11591 reply :
This summer it's been all about big ribbon-tail worms. 10" Culprits and Zoom Ol Monsters.
Darren. reply :
I took a fishing hiatus for a spell this summer, after vacation, came back to it this past week, and once again, soft plastics caught the bass.
Had some success this year branching out to hard lures, spinnerbaits, etc. Will continue to use them, but most fish I catch are on soft plastics. So I like to stick with what works.
Last summer, senko-style baits fished wacky (mostly). This summer, pretty much the same. It. Just. Works.
MIbassin reply :
I have by far caught the most and biggest bass this summer on frogs and 13 inch ribbon tails Texas rigged with a 1/16oz tungsten sinker fished in weedbeds in 10-12 FOW

FirstnameLastname reply :
For me it's been shallow divers jerked like a jerkbait. Also poppers late afternoon, and small spoons.
SirSnookalot reply :
Up until 2 weeks ago it was peacocks and I used marabou jigs about 90% of the time. I'm only doing pond fishing for bass now (canals are infested with insects), only using a top water popper. Fish have been busting bait like crazy, fishing the boil only produced tiny bass. My tact has been to cast about 100 yds away from the boil which has resulted bigger fish but fewer of them.
roadwarrior reply :
It's been the Rage Structure Bug for me at local ponds. Fishing on Pickwick has been
mostly Siebert Outdoors jig/ Rage Craw (PB&J).
Bankbeater reply :
I've caught a few on plastics, but so far this year most of my bass have been caught on shallow running crank baits and jigs.

Primus reply :
This summer has been a very good year for jig fishing. Last week I nailed them at a local lake throwing a 1-1/2 oz jig in app. 12' to 18' of water and getting reaction bites which is something new to me as far as using a jig that heavy. 1 oz jigs thrown in the grass have been producing good ones as well. Soft plastic wise the Rage Structure Bug has been a very good addition to the line up fishing it Texas Rig . The Zoom Brush Hog & 10" worms have been producing as well and when the going gets tough dropshots & Senko's will produce bites .
Diggy reply :
Cheap swim baits like storm and Berkeley. Skinny dippers have also been amazing.
olegs reply :
Smallmouth: Zoom Grub, Senko, Baby Craw
Largemouth: Fat Ika, Senko, Recon, Ol Monster, Anaconda
georgeyew reply :
My main four this summer has been the buzzbait, swim jig, inline spinner, and senko style worm.
- I've caught bass pretty consistently on the buzzbait (some fatties) in the morning and early evenings
- my PBs came on swim jigs, they typically work for me mid day
- I caught my first snakehead on an inline spinner, I've caught numerous bass throughout the day on them as well
- The senko style seems to work for me when all the other lures aren't getting me bites
ColdSVT reply :
Ive cashed two checks on the sweet beaver and 6xd this summer!
Preytorien reply :
This year a weightless SK Swim'n Caffeine Shad (in pearl white) has been my knock em' out lure.
I hadn't tried one before, but I went out fishing with our pastor and he made a believer out of me!
Choporoz reply :
Mostly Rage stuff. But, I am a little surprised at my total inability to get bass to hit a spinnerbait this year.
einscodek reply :
plstics and spinners equally hot for me this summer
Gabriel052 reply :
Texas rigged Magnum trick worm in black. Walk the dog type lures at night, and all black buzz bait. Squarebills have also been deadly this summer

AK-Jax86 reply :
FROG FROG FROG!
I have been using multiple types of frogs this summer, last year I was strictly Stanley Top Toads. This year I have used the booyah pad crashers, booyah poppin pad crashers, live target frog, lunk3rhunt LUNKER frog, Stanley ribbits, zoom horny toads, Damiki air frog, river 2 sea spittin wa, and culprit frogs.
Out of all the frogs the lunk3rhunt LUNKER frog has produced for me the biggest fish in all types of water. The Booyah Poppin Pad Crasher has produced the most for me in spots with thick vegetation.
EmersonFish reply :
Small stuff for me. 6" Roboworms, Drop Shotted. Baby Brush hogs and Baby Paca Craws, T-Rigged.
I haven't got to fish as much as I'd like because I broke my foot. This has been a bummer Summer, for the most part.
