bassmaster8100 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 What is your go to bait for schooling bass? Quote
Crappiebasser Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 3/4 oz red eye shad. Schools move around and I can launch that thing to wherever they go. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 21, 2014 Super User Posted June 21, 2014 Spook probably... Quote
gobig Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Pretty open ended question. Depends on how they are schooling. Quote
Mr. BattleArmor Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Fluke is pretty much a guaranteed bite for me when they are schooling...so are worms...and almost everything else. It's almost like they are just more confident in groups so when they see something they are way more likely to just go after it than to be tentative like if they were by themselves. But if I had to say one it would be a fluke. Quote
PersicoTrotaVA Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Alabama rig or Donkey rig, crankbaits(choose model depending on depth), spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, swimbaits, swimming jigs, spoons, topwater walkers, broken back minnows, plastic frogs and hollow body frogs, pretty much any constantly moving bait. Schooling fish are usually feeding on smaller fish so you want to mimic that type of forage, match the hatch so to speak. Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 21, 2014 Super User Posted June 21, 2014 One day I was fishing with my grandpa for schooling bass and I was walking a spook and I was getting a good amount of strikes, but my grandpa was just killing it with a little inline spinner haha I eventually switched to one after he started out fishing me....

Mccallister25 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Topwater spook. Run it through a school of shad, and the bass will crush it. Quote
sarcazmo Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 On top? Down deep? Flutter spoon. Not too many people use 'em, provides a different look. And, it really looks like a dying baitfish fluttering to the bottom. Quote
quanjig Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Bigger fish will normally be waiting under the smaller schooling fish, scrounger will get you those bigger fish..... Quote
