Killer bass3 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I'm relatively new to bass fishing, I've been fishing for 7months now. But I'm just getting into going fishing real early in the morning and I haven't gotten a ton of bites on my buzz bait. I tried frogs and got 2 and I tried a spinnerbait and got no bites. So I was wondering what you guys like to fish early morning. P.s. I fish at like 5:00. Thanks. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted July 19, 2012 Super User Posted July 19, 2012 Spooks, poppers, buzzbait, frog, anything on top. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 19, 2012 Super User Posted July 19, 2012 Buzz, Frogs, Spooks in that order then I switch to weightless flukes on weed line edges around 630-7 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 19, 2012 Global Moderator Posted July 19, 2012 A buzzbait is my go to morning bait this time of year. Make sure to reel it as slow as possible while keeping it on the surface, holding your rodtip in the air will make this easier. Lately with the water temps being so hot a chatterbait has been good also along with a jig or 10" worm. Quote
Killer bass3 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks guys I went this morning and caught 3 fish. It's not a lot but it's much better than my normal morning trip.I got one of a frog and the other two of a popper. Quote

Vinny Chase Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I always start on top and move down the water column. Show them a different presentation if they aren't biting the "typical" topwater baits with a zoom. Keep the bait on top by retrieving it quickly and erratically. Quote
Fontana Finesse Man Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Agree with all the above, one more suggestion. I would assume fishing at 5am there isn't alot of light out, one of my better "low light" baits is a black jitterbug. Quote
BassinMD Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I like swim jigs o be honest since bass are usually eating shad near the shore I jut try to immitate the shad in the lake, make it appea wounded and large and I usually get quite a few. Quote
Highhawk1948 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 If I see action on top at the grass lines I will throw a dropshot next to the grass. Weight may be 15-18 inches above sinker. Quote

That is the first thing I pickup if they aren't biting on top. 1 Quote

Super User iceintheveins Posted July 19, 2012 Super User Posted July 19, 2012 Rage shad, buzzbait, jitterbug, popper, spook. If those don't work, spinnerbait or fluke. Shallow crank is a good option too. Quote
MNBASSIN Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 if im not having luck with spinnerbaits or topwater i will try a berkley floatworm Quote
Matthew Veillion Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Sun up to about 7:00 you should try a pop r and if that doesnt work a super spook jr would work. Quote
