What Is Your Niche?

[Basseditor]

Weightless Senko. I won our tournament today dead sticking a Senko next to trees. Only once did I feel the fish bite. The other times I just knew there was a fish there.

 What do I like or what am I good at? Personally I really like to fish spinnerbaits but they are not the best that day most of the time. Now what I am good at is pitching creature baits to any visible cover. Creature baits in green pumkin have accounted for so many fish I carry about 20lbs worth in my boat. What I dislike is anything I have to use a spinning rod for and my least favorite of all is weightless worms like a senko. Now I try to be as versatile as any good bass angler so I will use whatever puts fish in the boat but man I dislike spinning rods.

spinnerbaits, soft and hard jerkbaits

Weightless fluke, double fluke rig, lipless cranks

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

I enjoy the topwater hollow frog bite the most. When slowly reeling in and then BAM the fish strikes out of the water thats fun.

I am in the same camp as A-Jay. Any thing that moves fast. Swimjigs, spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, buzzbaits, and stanley ribbits are all my favorites. Senko fishing is about as fun as watching paint dry unless I am working it like a fluke or jerkbait.

I'm sorry my friend, I would have to disagree here...it's hard to beat the excitement of tossing a weightless senko right in front of a bush where you know a hook set is inevitable. Can't say I've taken advantage of too many top water opportunities though, so maybe there's something to it

[rippin-lips]

I'm with A-Jay. As long as my hands are moving I'm happy but topwater is the most exciting for me. Nothing like getting startled when a fish blows up on your buzzbait or frog.

Never been much of a soft plastic man, but you give me a KVD 1.5 crankbait in sexy shad, and I'll give you variable results.

Without a doubt, not even close, frog fishing is the best thing in bass fishing (to me of course). First I like hollow bodies but there are just some days when Toads catch more fish. Either way it's great fun. It doesn't matter to me which type of cover; weeds, wood, rip rap, boat docks it's all the same.

 

Second I'd have to say a square bill. Again it doesn't matter to me if I'm fishing it through/over wood, grass, shallow rocky points, or flats.

 

Third I really like to flip/punch heavy grass.

 

I pretty much like to fish just about anything the fish want that day with the exception of a Carolina rig, I absolutely hate those. I enjoy shakeyheads, finesse/pitching/swimming/football jigs, spinnerbaits, scroungerhead flukes, etc etc...

 

In the end though I like frog fishing so much that if I were granted 3 wishes I'd use one of them on being able to catch fish on a frog every time I go fishing 24/7/365.    

[Bassfink86]

I love pitching, frogs, and lipless cranks

[Hogsticker]

I don't really have a niche, but it doesn't get more exciting than a top water. Something about being able to see, feel, and hear the strike. Plus, the anticipation is awesome. 

[webertime]

Net man...

[OkeechobeeAngler]

Soft plastics and Traps. Though I like it all these two stand out.

[Tylertut]

Topwater. Especially for smallmouth. It seems whenever I'm having trouble catching any this will always get me a couple. Lipless cranks are another.

[jhoffman]

I fish a ton of wood. If I had my choice I fish the pads all day every day with frogs/mice... I love that bite.

[iabass8]

Throwing a jig into half submerged brush and wrestling a fish out.

[Maxximus Redneckus]

Plastic worms and topwater my strong points and shallow water

[Djman72]

Pop-r's. That's the first artificial lure I caught a bass on and one of my "go-to's" ever since. Nothing quite like a topwater strike to get your blood flowing!

[Bankbeater]

Mine is using a jig. I've loved them ever since I caught my first bass on one.

[Lucky Craft Man]

It depends what I am fishing for.

Smallmouth - Jerkbait or Drop Shot (these two are tied)

Largemouth - Pitching Plastics in Heavy Cover

Musky - Super Mag Bulldawgs (a.k.a. Pounders)

Steelhead - Nymphing (Egg Pattern Fly)

Trout - Nymphing (Beadhead Pheasant Tail)

[livetofish28]

Anything constantly moving but there's something about flipping a jig to a dock and feeling a solid thump that really gets the blood flowing can't wait till it's dock fishing season again

Tight lines.

[RB 77]

Worm guy at heart, definetly my strong point, but give me a hollow body frog bite any day!

[plumworm]

T-rigged plastic, Nothing beats the thump. Fish on.

[Hooligan]

Structure fishing.  Whether with plastics, or chunk'n, or with dropshot.  I love picking structure apart with a spinnerbait, but will do it however I need to.

[alexandboi]

Anything finesse for me. Something about fighting a fish with 5# or 6# line just makes things so much more fun haha. Although I am very fond of jerkbaits also...
