I know that all fisherman have one technique that they use in fishing that helps them catch tons of fish.
Whats your best technique out in the water?
I employ the "do nothing" technique and can load the boat with it.The bait I use with the "do nothing" technique is a wacky rigged senko.
I like to think that I am better than decent crankbait fisherman. I do pretty well anywhere from less than 1ft all the way down to about 12 ft. Past there it starts to get kinda rough.
Gettin jiggy with it.
Slow down the presentation. I got so much more "activity" on the other end once I learned to slow it up a bit.
I don't know if that qualifies as a technique but it does for me.

T-rigged,power worm
wacky rig with zoom or yum trick worm on a 1/0 hook
a SPOT REMOVER doesn't matter what plastic I have on it, thats my go to technique.
my favorite technique would be spinnerbaiting.
Fishing soft plastics.
Spinnerbait
or
pitching a plastic beaver bait(berkley beast)
#1 Texas Rigged Gene Larew 7 ½ Salty Ring Worm Cinnamon Pepper Neon/June Bug Laminated (Camouflage).
My best technique is swimming a t-rigged soft plastic worm. Out of all the bass I've caught in my life so far, I would have to say about 95% of them came on this presentation.
get by the bank throw my texas rigged cotton candy baby brushhog the hit the trolling motor and pull accross the bank with my banhdit crankbait
enter the plastic world. catches more bass in fla than any live bait or artificial. you can fish any part of the water column with it or the thickest cover. the most versatile bait ever invented. before plastic ,they even used pork rind and fished it much like we fish plastic today. larry nixon made his reputation fishing a plastic worms and most of his peers think he is the greatest in the world at fishing plastic worms.
Sorry Ive got 2 best.
1;Weightless t-rigged Snekos or Zoom or Manns jelly worms ( Most of my bass)
2; Depending on the conditions a #9 to # 11 Original or Jointed Original Floating Rapala silver with black back stop and go on the topwater
Texas rig and topwater action.
jigging, t-ring, and spinnerbait
Shallow running crankbaits around wood
mine is deffinately a wacky rigged senko in any dark color, 2nd would be shallow-medium cranks

If you're gonna limit me to one methoid, I'll have to go with a Crig.
I can catch fish with it at any depth, in almots any cover at any time if year.
Rough to use it through the ice though.
Brad
Tubes, then a toss up between crankbaits and inline spinners (I never grew out of these, and I never will!!!)
At different times in my life, I could have picked one technique, but not now. My "bests" would be fishing plastics, spinnerbaiting, and shallow crankbaits.
Weightless senko and square billed crankbait.
1.Worming (T-rig, C-rig, shakeyhead), Spinnerbait
2. Crankbait/topwater
Dropshotting a 4" handpoured worm

I'm lazy.
Baby brush hog rigged on a 1/8oz. owner sled head. More big fish caught on this lure then any other. Second would be a horny toad.
I guess mine would be top-water. Most of the water I've fished in has been pretty shallow. Second would be jig or worm.
Texas rigged Black shad Culprit worm, trying to get it snagged in thick cover.
Ronnie
Definatley soft plastic worms. I sorta have my own technique or I'm making it up as I go but I love fishing worms.
Shallow crankin'!
Fishing soft plastics either texas rigged or carolina rigged
T-Rigged Plastic Worms (Paddletail, Ribbontail, Straight-Tail and Stick Worms)
Delivered with a natural glide using little or no weight.

since i joined bass resource ive been learning a lot . the wacky rig senko has been awsome. got a 4lber today and a 6 lber last week on it. been catching a lot on jerkbaits too.
My wife picked the most productive lure in my box because it was pretty. It is a g-fleck/rainbow (pink & green) rebel pop'r. I fish it with a 2 pop pause, 1 pop cadence. My five biggest fish have come on this "pretty" lure. I consider it my best.
My most effective lure is a T-rigged tube!!
Quotea SPOT REMOVER doesn't matter what plastic I have on it, thats my go to technique.
3/16 oz with a zoom finesse worm, green pumpkin. When all else fails... 8-)
My number one technique is pitching a jig to shallow cover, my favorite set-up for this is a 3/8oz. black/blue jig fished on a 7ft. MH Kistler rod with a Shimano Curado and 15lb. Trilene Big Game. I also like cranking shallow cover and tossing suspending jerkbaits.
T-Rigged Senkos have been the best this year.
I have hesitated posting because I was trying to think of ONE best technique. It's hard to say, because conditions vary and so the "best" technique varies along with it.
But since you asked, I'd have to say the t-rigged weightless senko. Not my favorite by any means, but when I "need" to catch a bass, that's the go to bait.
c rig lizard for me, i can catch them on this
ive been getting better with a weightless senko
3rd would be a baby bass colored crankbait

Say that three times fast. LOL
"bite me" shakey head w/4 or 5" gammy cut tail
Sorry,I also have two.I'd say a spinnerbait is my strength in bassin'.I can most always get something going with a spinnerbait.I also consider the floating minnow as my top bait.I like Rapalas and Rogues REALLY early in the morning from mid spring through mid summer.I've caught alot of big bass on these baits.
Just one??? I gotta say spinnerbaiting!!!
Joe 8-)
For me it's shallow cranking. but I'm getting more confidence in spinnerbaits.
Falcon
MY favorite technique is flippin/pitchen a creature bait with a 3/4oz weight
frogs
Jigs, Plastics, finding and fishing deep water structure with both lures.
Crig and topwater, more c rig then anything it's just a awsome technique. Really fun when rig up a ten inch worm and toss out there then the catch rate goes down but the sizes of the ones you do catch go up
