vapredhunter Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Try some different types of worms ex. Needle, Paddle Tail, Trick, Finesse, Curly Tail, sometime it makes a difference Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted October 17, 2010 Super User Posted October 17, 2010 Cast somewhere else. If all you get are dinks, then you're probably casting where the dinks reside. If you're generally casting to the shoreline, then cast 20-30' off depending on the drop offs. Another option is to put your boat up against the shoreline and cast out toward the main lake and fish "up hill" to potentially show it to the bigger fish first. Quote
brushhoggin Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 how do you know the big ones aren't looking at it? seriously guys, he's lacking two periods. you dont have to make up for it by starting yours. Quote
J Scott Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I've actually caught my biggest bass (LM) 8lb-2oz on a 3" grub but have caught a few 6lb'ers on 5" senko's wacky rigged on a Zappu 3/16" Quote
Casca Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Norcalbassin with good advise,you need to throw to another area and depth. regards, Casca Quote
Nice_Bass Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Change tactics, go bigger or smaller, fish faster or slower, change color, change technique, change baits.And learning how to type properly never hurt anyone. : lol I would say the typing is fine, the area he is fishing may need to change however. Find big bass areas, you may be where the dinks are at the time of day you are fishing. Quote
Super User WRB Posted October 19, 2010 Super User Posted October 19, 2010 This site has a good spell check on the right side if the page, when posting a reply. The vast majority of bass anglers tend to fish within a casting distance from the bank and use the Texas rigged high production injection molded worms. Sometimes that works, most of the time it doesn't. What makes bass fishing a great sport is the bass are willing to bite a wide variety of lures. You need to determine what lures and presentation the bass prefer at the time and place. Learn to fish soft plastic worms using a few techniques like drop shot, Carolina rig, shaky head jig along with the Texas rig. You will never know what color the bass prefer until you try a few different colors, same for the length and style. Adult size bass are more experienced then smaller Juvenal bass that are very aggressive. You need to slow down and fish where the larger bass are located. WRB Quote

Although I usually don't pay attention to stupid arguments, this actually gave me a good chuckle. Back on subject, if you have the means to fish new areas then that would be the first thing that I would do. Second I would up-size my bait to maybe wean out some of the smaller bass. Quote

Super User .ghoti. Posted October 27, 2010 Super User Posted October 27, 2010 Bass Resource has a very large library of articles. Look at the top of the page. You'll see the header for the articles section. I'd suggest starting it the Tips & Tactics section, then look in the lure techniques sections. There are enough articles, and enough information to keep you occupied all winter. Quote
