Jim_M Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Flat sided crankbait without a rattle. Flat sided crankbait with a rattle. Dead stick a plastic of your choice. I have GOT to remember to pick up a few silent cranks. Quote
tnriverluver Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Well there are times Bass just shut off. Full Moon plus cooler water temps. Been fishing nearly every day for the last two months and have been catching them like crazy on a Junebug worm and Green Pumpkin lizard. Yesterday water temps went from 54 down to 52. Not a bite. Fished 2 different lakes today temps now 51. 70 degree air!!!! Still not a bite. Deep, shallow and everywhere in between. First time being skunked this year. Sometimes you just have to have patience I guess. Quote
trueblue1970 Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 The only 3 bait's that I've caught fish on at the last 2 tounaments down here are... White pearl fluke with a 1/16 weight on the nose... White and chartruses chatterbait... 5" black/blue wacky rig. Mike Im in NE Florida and ive been doing well with the fluke and chatterbaits. Been catching them as well on zoom tequila sunrise t rigged and when I wacky rig a senko. Quote
Clint C. Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 In water temps in the low to mid 40's I like to throw a Luck-E-Strike RC STX Jerkbait or shaky head w/ a roboworm. Quote
Curved Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 FWIW, the Shenandoah was 42 degrees a few days ago, so the Potomac is probably right around the same temp. Quote
Jay Ell Gee Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 ok ok spelling corrected. Please don't mistake my pokes for punches Mr. Jim. Good idea about getting some silent lipless cranks. Heck, I got a KVD lipless crank kit for Christmas last year... Wonder if they all rattle... Be back tomorrow... I have a box to shake. Quote
Sun Fish Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 How about for cold North East lakes 37 degree water? Quote
born2fish94 Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 i'm a big fan of the berkley havoc bottom hoppers. they seem to work better for me because the tail ALWAYS floats up on a shakey head. zoom finesse worms and trick worms work too but they dont always float. i also like a 4 inch bottom hopper on a drop shot. on lake jordan here in alabama, watermelon red and june bug are very productive for me on both of those techniques. At my local academy the prices are very reasonable too at 2.79 for a pack of 12. robo worms are good also. i just have confidence in the havoc's. Quote
North Ga Hillbilly Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 how convenient. I just got a pack of strike king 5.5" shadalicious. Add a few inches to that 5.5 and youll be in buisness. I know of some folks in VA that do very well during the cold weather NGaHB Quote
