Awesome guys let's keep it going
Cypress trees + Square bills = success!
I love squarebills....
drop shot near rocks, anytime
I enjoy being on the water the last few hours before the sun goes down. Takes me to my happy place for sure. Jerkbait and weightless plastics are my favorites without a doubt.
Top water froggin. Great this time of year as they crash through the ice to devour the frog, rare but fun.
3.5 Inch tube on a 1/16-3/16 jighead around wood
UL fishing with small cranks and spinners.
I have a lot of fun with a Blue Fleck KVD Finesse Worm rigged on a size 1 O'Shaughnessy (had to look that one up!) and a 1/8 oz Siebert tungsten.

Popper, T-Rig, and working cover with a jig.
Pitching jigs and soft plastics under trees that lay over the water... Second fave is heavy matter cover or vegetation with a frog .. And third is Florida with a hill swimbait in the summer
Fishing a jig or tube around deep wood.
My favorite is anytype of topwater.
But other than that, I've really gotten into punching.
7'11"veritas, 65#braid, 1oz tungsten, big bites "yodaddy"- black and blue.
You may get a few looks no biggie. Just imagine explaining how you caught a limit in under a minute hahahaOn 2/14/2015 at 1:36 AM, A-Jay said:Nice ~

Hands down flipping a jig, It may not catch em as fast as a crank but man its just to much fun getting up close to a bush or a tree in the water and finessing that jig right next to a good looking spot and having a big girl rush out to kill it. Top water being a close second that rush from a blowup is about as close to high as you can get.
Ticking a Skinny Dipper or Big Ex over and through grass...
Punching hydrilla matts with a Rage Bug or RI Sweet Beaver...
Scum frog over and through a thick pad and grass field...

Texas rigged rage craw, Droping into weeds.
In my waters, hard to beat a #5 Jointed Shad Rap in Fire Crawdad in the middle of a cold winter day. Cast, pull slow.
Hollow body frog
Jig and/or t-rigged plastic pitched to shallow cover.
Jig or squarebill for me anywhere there is wood of rocks.
it really looks like your rightOn 2/14/2015 at 6:52 AM, RustyShackleford said:In my waters, hard to beat a #5 Jointed Shad Rap in Fire Crawdad in the middle of a cold winter day. Cast, pull slow.
I like crankbaiting and finesse fishing, which are at the opposite ends of the compass.
For crankbaits, any thing will do.
For finesse, I like shaky head and Senkos.
Weightless flukes
Pitching & Flipping w 7" Plastic worm in heavy to sparse hydrilla and Lilly pads... Ranks very high for me.
#2 Probably a tube, in Rocky/ Hard bottom areas.. Hard to beat a good tube bite..
I didn't know what I started here when I posted this
Honestly I don't really have a specific "Favorite Lure", at least not yet that is. I really enjoy throwing all different types of baits and different rigs, so my favorite would have to be whats working best at that given time. If I had to choose I would pick something Topwater because I love the action of surface strikes, so... probably a Spook Jr.
BTW: If you haven't seen the "FLW Seminar with Hank Parker" Youtube it.
WolfyBrandon
Unweighted flukes in and around heavy cover , or a drop shot fished both as a down shot ,or horizontal in light to moderate weed cover.

Weighed 6.25 pounds. Would have loved to have gotten her loaded to the gills.
I love throwing a swimjig,blk/blu with a space monkey for a trailer.Works for me in Delaware.
Inline spinners and LOTS of crankbaits, from a bitsy minnow to 'catch em caro' jointed crankbaits.
Weightless Senkos with a skin hooked owner twistlock(weightless Texas rig)
Jigs and T-rigs for me.
frog's with out a doubt
Only 1 favorite, for me it's a top water lure for any kind of fish that will hit on the surface.
Can't pick one. Being a bass fisherman with a "boatload" of tackle I just can't.
From the tick of flippin a jig, a top water swirl, rod loading up on a crank, to the crush on an A-rig. LOVE IT ALL
Where I fish its a watermelon senko late afternoon. Lots of fun.
Nothing says summertime more to me than a big ribbontail plastic worm rigged on a Confidence Baits Draggin Head. The slow crawl or deadstick on a major structural element in June, July or August just waiting to feel that tick come up the line.
Swim Jig for me....
Bare hook, under a giant bobber, and too drunk to care if I get a bite.
Topwater early morning-buzzbait
Texas rig. Either weighted and bounce it off the bottom or weightless and float it from the top down. Curly tail motor oil is my baitnof choice.
Same here! Love tubes especially gitzits in brown craw green sparkle .On 2/14/2015 at 1:04 AM, Ben Eipert said:3.5 Inch tube on a 1/16-3/16 jighead around wood
Square bills, definitely square bills!
A jig, heavy cover, big rod and line and big fish.

This would be my brother's favorite technique as well. That, casting at birds, and jumping off the boat to chase wild animals on the shore.
ww2, what size bobber? Also, Is that a gold hook?
My two favorites.
1. Flippin' a jig or beaver into the nastiest stuff I can find.
2. Summer night fishing with either a black spinnerbait tipped with either a split tail or for extra bulk and Uncle Josh black pork frog, or an 8" Zoom big dead ringer tx rigged with a 3/16 sinker in red shad.

Im guessing he uses one of these
Downed trees, wacky rigged senko on
a 1/0 Gammy drop/split shot hook with
own weed guard tied on.
love fishing a jig around shallow cover. also texas rigged worm or lizard. oh yeah, and would fish sqarebills all the time if I could get away with it.
8" Hudd and Deps 250, Rigged on 300 reel, 30# PF line XH or XXH swimbait rod. Fish it what ever way the fish want to hit it. And targeting BIG BASS ; )
Texas rig all day
Zoom bait paddle tail worms, different colors(mainly JuneBug Red) depending on fishing area.
Zoom bait baby brush hogs, color JuneBug Red.
Sometimes reel them in a bit faster to make them top water. That paddle tail action is where it's at.
Skipping jigs under docks
Frog or senko/jig/weightless swimbait in heavy cover.
pitching jigs to laydowns
Any heddon spook junior, any daredevle, and most rapala crankbaits. I've spent about $1300 on tackle and soft plastics, plus over $300 on expensive swimbaits and poppers, but all I really catch fish on are those three.
Gotta be the wacky rig watermelon red flake or junebug
I love to crank. But if I slow down and have to fish slow I typi go to a zoom ultra vibe speed craw
My favorite rig has to be a Carolina rig with yamamoto flappin hog. I will also put a finesse worm or fluke on the end and work it on ledges or throw weeks and pads. They just kill the flappin hog on the drop or twitching it along the bottom. Love that thing!
Throwing a Texas rigged lizard on beds!

Pretty much the same here. I'll take any type of crankbait, but finesse I like a dropshot and wacky rigged senkos.
