calibassin Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 what kind of lures work best when the bass are in 20-25 feet of water? Quote
Smokinal Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I like a 1/2 to 3/4 oz jig, depending on the wind. And a t-rigged worm never hurts either. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Jigs, shaky head, t rigs, c rigs are what I mostly use. Quote
DILLY07 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Texas Rig plastics with 3/8 ounce bullet weight. My confidence If thats not working at all, I go shakey heads. Quote
Super User WRB Posted July 17, 2014 Super User Posted July 17, 2014 25-30 feet deep is about average day time depth out west during the summer. Depends on the forage base the bass are eating and the thermocline depth. Drop shot and slip shot finesse soft plastics Jigs Structure spoons T-rig C-rig Scrounger Deep crank baits Slow rolled spinnerbait A-rig Swimbaits. Tail spinner/underspins These should keep you busy.

Super User Crestliner2008 Posted July 18, 2014 Super User Posted July 18, 2014 First off, are you talking about smallies or largemouth bass? For smallies, I would definitely recommend the drop shot this time of the year. But deeper than the 20 - 25 feet you are talking about. Of course that depends on the clarity of the water. I've also done well with the drop shot fishing largemouth waters and even those with both species. Jigs can be very effective as well. Quote
TNBassin' Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Are the fish suapending at that depth or are they holding to structure/relating to the bottom? Quote
