Super User bigbill Posted April 22, 2014 Super User Posted April 22, 2014 First if you have something that's your hottest go to lure you better purchase a gazillion of them. That's what I do. Bomber shallow A. Bomber FAT A Bomber. Model A Presentation slow reel, over open holes in submerged weeds pause. As for colors, redapplecraw, Greencraw, browncraw, dark green bass orange bottom, baby bass orange bottom, shad, citrus, chartreuse. Norman thin n, presentation- slow reel and jiggy with it. Color, Redear Chartreuse killer Violet Never limit your colors. I end up purchasing every color just to try them. On a tough day try a different color and a garlic scent. Try something out of the norm when fishing at the smaller places. I believe when practicing catch and release the fish learn our lures and scents. Don't limit your choices. Mepps #3 Anglia gold, Brown tail Mepps #3 Anglia silver gray tail Mepps #4 Anglia gold, Brown tail C-Rig 24" leader 1/8oz brass weight with a clicker with senko and brushog etc. Presentations, let it fall on its own, or get jiggy with it as it falls. Split shot rigged worms 6" very slow presentation. Rapala original floater f7 blue or black Presentation very slow reel or jerk n pause, extractive movement. Don't be afraid to try different presentations. Break the norm. Don't be afraid to go very slow. Wear your polarized glasses I don't care if there $5 polarized glasses from eBay they work too. Watch your lures action to see how slow you can go so the lure looks like an easy meal. I say "one thousand" when I make a complete circle on my spinning reel handle. That's how slow I go. It's one of my best fish catching speeds. Now go out there and find your own nitch. Find your own speed. Focus on how you crank your handle so you make a perfect circle. A perfect circle on the handle means an exact lure speed. When your lure has a rattle the sound and beat is more even. Your speed has to be perfect on one form of presentation. Remember one lure can have many presentations. Topwater popper rebel popr blue Presentation, cast it out, let it sit till the wake goes away then 1-2-3 pause, repeat. Topwater spooks Presentation, cast it out, let it sit till the wake goes away, then rip it three times to walk the dog while holding your rod tip down, then pause and repeat. Topwater mister twister top props Presentation, slow even speed, or a 1-2-3 pause, break it up with a longer pause. This top prop will pause almost straight up lowering the mt 4"split double tail grub trailer look life like as it falls, just don't forget the trailer hook. Spooks with props. Presentations, slow reel fast enough to spin the prop a slow reel even speed. Again 1-2-3 pause too or a rip n pause or walk the dog too. Mann's classic spinner baits, 1/4oz(from shore) Colorado gold blades, white blue glimmer skirt, 4" mt white split double tail grub with a trailer hook . Slow presentation. For clear to slightly stained water. Mann's classic spinnerbaits, 1/4oz Colorado gold blades, chartreuse skirt, 4" mt split double tail trailer grub with trailer hook. Again a slower presentation. Don't forget a bass scent or a YUM shad, craw, or garlic scent. For using spinnerbaits from shore I like the 1/8 & 3/16 size spinnerbaits too. I also purchase the affordable ones and add a blue glimmer skirt and trim the 4" mt split double tail grub for a trailer if you can't find the mt 2" split double tail grub. Don't be afraid to trim the larger 4" grub. Make sure you install it even on the centerline of the spinnerbaits. Having the spinnerbaits run even when it's all assembled correctly is the key to catching bass with it. I still owe Glenn for telling me to stay with spinnerbaits, the setup and sooner or later we will have success. I gave you my hot lures and there presentations. If you have any questions either post a question or message me. I like to see everyone here catch bass. I like helping new shore bass fisherman just getting started. I'm here to do what I can to help you for this forum. I'm no pro nor claim to be I'm just your average guy who loves to fish. But I like to see others catch fish too. Go out there and use the different presentations. Just go out fishing to learn and practice your presentations a bass will interrupt you when you get it right. Now if you have a lure that's not catching fish try it somewhere you can see how it runs. You may have to use a needle nose pliers to adjust it so it runs perfectly straight. The key to success is throwing a variety of lures, colors till the bass tell us what they want by trying different presentations. It's not luck in fishing it's skill. You can do it. 1 Quote
Blues19 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Gonna have to go with a green pumpkin or Watermelon Red Baby Brush Hog. I love me the Albino Bronzeye frog too Quote
bassguytom Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Spring = lipless crank Summer = robo worm on a drop shot Fall = jig Winter = LC pointer 78 If I could only fish one lure per season this is what I would go with. Fine print also says subject to change and must be present and on the water to win. Quote
