Hello,

 

Lately, I have learned some new techniques and methods for bass. Are there any new ones that I have to know about that will help me get more bass in the boat?

Well tell us some of your new ones and we'll fill you in on the rest.

Well, without any specifics, I take new ones one at the time. Try them at a time that's well suited for them-find that by asking advice and scouring the Internet. There's a YouTube video for almost every technique. If you go out to try topwaters, don't choose lunchtime on a day with bluebird skies because you'll probably be discouraged and that lure will go to the bottom of the tackle box. Understand that even the "experts" are only drawing from their experiences. Yours will probably be different.

 

Some guys like to take only the lure they want to experiment with. That's OK, but I don't. I like to have confidence baits for backup. Fishing should be fun. And being successful at it is certainly more fun than getting skunked trying something new.

Some of the new ones are shaky head, Texas rig, and chatter bait fishing. I know how to dropshot. Those are some of the ones I've learned about recently.

And don't hesitate to try something because it looks stupid or gimmicky. The smaller the water, the more likely it is fish will bite something simply because they've never seen it.

Have you tried the ned rig? The spinbait? The neko, jika, chicken, florida, carolina or virginia rigs?

Anew technique for me anyhow , I added a small spinner blade to the hook of a ball head jig and bite the tail off a grub. This is a heavy current lure and i have caught lots of different species including bass on it . This is a 1/8 ounce version .

I'm gearing toward topwaters too as well as frogs. Around here, the water temp is close to 90. Morning and evening are best. My wife had ACL surgery and I haven't been able to go. So I let the bait monkey bite me and I geared up. Just a week or two and I'll get out again.
