fishing user avatarRattlinrogue reply : 

What are your top three bass catchin' techniques.It may be your most successful or just your most fun or a combination of the two!My three are: 1)Floating jerkbait used as a topwater in lowlight conditions 2) the Carolina rig with a lizard or a finese worm 3) Pitchin'/Flippin' a tube or jig into cover


fishing user avatarCapt. George reply : 

1.  Gill Net

2. Cast Net

3. Dynomite

A fourth method is a small dragger, if the lake has a big enough ramp... ::)

2. Original Floating Rapalas #7to#11 at sundown the jointed version

3. Whenm the fish arent bitting M-80's OVER THE BOW a fgure s pattern about 25 yards from shore paralell to the shore seems to work best ;D ;D


fishing user avatarGobbleDog reply : 

C-rigged Chompers (Senko type bait) for open water.

T-rigged Trick Worms when casting at specific targets in shallows (lilly pads and docks).

My third most productive technique is everything else...crankbaits, minnows, topwaters, etc... (obviously never as consistent as worms).

fishing user avatarKU_Bassmaster. reply : 

1) Pitchn'- any plastic

2) Flippn' - any plastic

3) Crankn'


fishing user avatarRattlinrogue reply : 

Since it's my thread,I get 3 more choices...LOL...1)spinnerbaits in the shallow cover 2)buzzbaits in the shallow cover 3)Horny Toads in shallow cover.


fishing user avatarPeter E. reply : 

For fishing shallow heavy vegitation like lilly paps and slop, I use:

1. In-Line buzz bait (hildebrant)

2. Large soft plastic frogs, lizard, or worms fished on top of the water

3. Trick worm

With a stout action rod and heavy test, when you use these you can catch fish out of places most wouldn't even put a boat near!!!!

Fish on,

Peter


fishing user avatarHookhead reply : 

  • Cranks at any depth
  • Weightless T-rigged Senkos

[move] ------------------------------------------------------<>~ <*)))><[/move]


fishing user avatarEZ_Spin reply : 

1) 1/2 ounce White and Silver Roostertail

2) Finesse worm on a Spot Sticker Jig Head

3) Black Crankbait digging up the bottom at night

The Rooster Tail is my go to bait for numbers and even big spotted bass on Lake Lanier but works everywhere.


fishing user avatarpreach4bass reply : 

Spinnerbait

Crankbait

Senko

If those three don't work I go home and read about fishing ;D


fishing user avatarcart7t reply : 

Slow rolling lipless vibrating baits on deep water breaks.

Fishing 10-11" worms on deep water cover or structure.

In-line buzz baits in thick grass or weeds.

Suspending jerkbaits in very early spring.


fishing user avatar5bass reply : 

Fluke - usually under docks or around laydowns (I would say grass but we dont have any  >:( )

Crank - best on points for me,digging along the bottom

Senko - killer dock bait,probably the best in my opinion

fishing user avatarN.Jack reply : 

tie- wacky and weightless senkos

2nd- Shallow Cranks

tie for third- Buzzbaits and Original Rapalas


fishing user avatarPreston reply : 

1. 1/16 ounce bitsy bug when their around shallow LIGHT cover. I know its small and very finesse but it works great but you just have to be careful with the light line.

2. 3 inch grub on a 1/8 ounce jig head will garentee a fish for me.

3. And my favorite is fishing a Rapala all the diffrent ways you can fish it. Its the most versital hard bait there is and its fun to fish.
