Your Top 3 - Summer 2011 2024

Fat-G reply :

So what are your top three best producing lures so far for the summer? Are you gettin' em on reaction baits or is it low and slow?

For me the bite has been in deeper water fishing plastics. In some of my ponds, "deep" is 2-3 feet, and others, up to 12! I have learned a lot about structure fishing this summer and have a much better feel for the bottom contour of my ponds.

My top three:

Rage Craw

Rage Baby Thumper

Rage Lobster

I have also done well with a Red Eye shad, again, fished deep.

Jigs

Baby Brush hog

T-rigged worms.

Though lately I've gotten back into top water. I'm hooked on frogs.

River Rat316 reply :

#1: Swim jig... No big surprise, using either a rage, spaz or paca chunk, hollow belly's have been real good to me lately also

#2 4" Fighting Craw, this bait has surpised me, rigging it on a light keel weighted hook has picked up alot of fish for me this season.

#3 Jig, with either a rage, spaz or paca chunk. Color dependent on water conditions. 3/8 or 1/2 oz is my bread and butter around deep weedlines. Finally tried out the Alimony color jig last Friday and picked up 5 chunks that would have pushed 20lbs tournament bag out of a 300 acre lake

J Francho reply :

Well, I won Erie with a drop shot plastic worm, in 38' water. I came in second on Port bay using crankbaits and swimbaits early in the day, and a jig later. Some of my biggest bass have come on jigs, super deep cranks, swimbaits, and t-rigged creature/craws, so I guess its "all of the above." I fish so many diverse waters, it's not always about what is the "hot bait." There isn't much you can do about stingy fish in 40' of water. Likewise, you can't crank in super shallow slop.

Find the bass, and let the situation choose your bait.

Wayne P. reply :

For me it has nothing to do about the bait, it's the presentation.

#1---weedless wacky finesse worm

#2---shakey head finesse worm

#3---Tx rig 10"+ worm

#1 is about 75% of the catches

Kowen117 reply :

1. 3/16 shakey head with a 6" zoom trick worm

I have also really been working on flipping jigs and soft plastics as this is one of my weakest techniques.
