Alright guys, I have to say that with 4 nights of bass league behind us, that the best bass lures this year have been a senko and a frog. From what I am hearing these are catching the largies, smallies and under all conditions. Only the locations vary, except that docks are most often the first stop, followed by the deep weed edges and breaks. The biggest tricks are in learning how to setup the gear to handle this presentation and to see the strikes, followed by learning how to adjust it to the conditions to see what's happening and to present it properly. Windy conditions are tough unless you can handle the boat and let it fall correctly.
As for the frog, nothing beats it in the slop. Nothing. I finally found the ones I like and have a bunch now. So bring on the sloppy bass.
Next to learn the deep bass techiques like mojo rigging, and using tubes and grubs more. Any tips would be great. Thanks.
I never read this one till tonight,so lets talk about my favorite lures.
spring-I like lizzardsand shallow cranks!
summer-top water like a spook or chug bug are down right fun not the most effective but the most exciting!
fall-back to cranks shallow and deep ,plastics c- rigged.
OH! I almost forgot this ,on a fishing outing with a unnamed person i was reintroduced to the lipless crank,I hated this lure because I never caught a thing on it.I was schooled that day, this year I will be using this bait a little more.
Thanks,Flymaster
I personally like a five of diamonds spoon for bass,and my buddy uses the old standy red and white.
