Fat-G Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 What is your absolute favorite way to fish? Weather conditions, depth, lure, cover, rod/reel, casting technique, etc. Mods sorry if this is the wrong section, please move if it is. My favorite is pitching Rage Hawgs, Craws, or Space Monkeys to standing timber on an overcast/rainy day. I absolutely love fishing this way, and it's usually when I get a good'un. Edit- Forgot to mention this earlier, pitchin' around cypress trees is another one, along with frogging in matted grass. Quote

OHIO Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 65 degrees, overcast, about 5' of water, 7' baitcasting rod, and throwing a buzzbait. I love the strike on every topwater bait, but I like buzzbaits the most. 1 Quote

Super User Alpster Posted January 24, 2011 Super User Posted January 24, 2011 I like these equally... 1. Morning. Gurgling a jitterbug or buzzbait along a weed line an hour before sunup dead calm & 80+ degrees. 2. Heat of the day. Dropshot or shakey head jig with a finesse worm in deep open water slowly. 3. Evening. Pitchin a jig&trailer or casting a T-rigged Culprit ribbon tail worm in the thickest blowdowns or lillypads I can find. Ronnie Quote
