MrE1979 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 If you could only have ONE lure what would you pick. I'll even give you season. No soft plastics it has to be hard. Winter. A shiner and my trusty Indian Hill tip-ups. Spring. Spinner bait with a big willow blade Summer. Split back jitterbugs in black Fall. Suspending jerk bait minnow colored Quote

Super User Jrob78 Posted June 22, 2015 Super User Posted June 22, 2015 Hold up, you said, "no soft baits, only hard," and then pick live bait (shiner) as one of your choices? Just when I thought these pick one threads couldn't get any dumber.... 3 Quote

Just when I thought these pick one threads couldn't get any dumber.... When the water is frozen 20+" I am not the guy to drill a thousand holes so I can jig with a lure so.... I drill 5 and use shiners on my tip-ups. If I lived somewhere where the water doesn't freeze maybe I could use a hard lure and share what I used. Just sayin Quote
FishingJimChap Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 This early summer I have had some crazy success on Hula Poppers. I have pulled in about 30 bass with the things right at sunset. Can't say I have had trophy fish, but it is fun. Do some spot fishing along the shallows right at sunset and they get grabbed all the time. Early spring - Jigs Spring - Spinner baits Summer - Hula poppers, broken back minnows, Fall - Shad Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 23, 2015 Super User Posted June 23, 2015 Spring- Spinnerbait Summer- Spinnerbait Fall- Spinnerbait Winter - I'm to warm blooded for ice fishing LOL Quote
Turtle135 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 winter - jig spring - jig summer - jig fall - jig I recently broke myself the habit of carrying 15 pounds of lures in a crate in the back of the kayak for those quick after work trips. Of late I carry just one rod, about 10 jigs and jig heads and four bags of worms and trailers. I find I fish much more efficiently focusing on where the bass are and not so much on lure/color/profile changes. On the weekends for longer trips I still go fully loaded cause you just never know what you might need. 1 Quote
Super User Catt Posted June 23, 2015 Super User Posted June 23, 2015 Winter, spring, summer, or fall I have a jig-n-craw tied on! 2 Quote

Shanes7614 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 X3. Jig n craw all year long! Are jigs your favorite bait? Or are they just consistent fish catchers for you year round? Quote
tholmes Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Are jigs your favorite bait? Or are they just consistent fish catchers for you year round? For me, they're both. If it catches fish consistently year 'round, It's gonna be one of my favorite lures. Tom Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted June 26, 2015 Super User Posted June 26, 2015 My favorite is a frog. Is it my best? No. It's the most fun to fish and get bites on. Quote
