Heron Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 What are some of your most consistently High-Percentage techniques, per season? Would be interesting to see everyone's comparison. (hopefully this isn't too vague, feel free to elaborate as you see fit.) Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted July 7, 2016 Super User Posted July 7, 2016 Pre-spawn: Almost never get to fish it so I haven't settled on anything, really Spawn: Don't fish it much, but bladed jigs were successful this year Post-spawn: Senko, wacky or t-rigged Summer: Using any version of a "Jigworm" (hook with weighted head + worm; including but not limited to what everyone now calls a "shakyhead") to probe a deep weedline or drop off. Fall: don't fish it much, but buzzbaits were my favorite last year. Winter: don't get to fish. Quote
Oklahoma Mike Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Pre-spawn: Spinnerbaits Spawn: Chatterbaits Post-spawn: Just about anything, but senkos are probably my top producer here. Quote
riverbasser Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 The jig has a high percentage year round. Followed by a t-rig trick worm. In late summer and fall I gotten fond of the Alabama rig Quote
KLoell Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 This year has gone like this for me so far on the lake I fish. Pre-Spawn: Chatterbait or Lipless Crankbait Spawn: Beaver style bait Pitched to their beds Post-Spawn: Spinnerbait/Squarebill Crankbait/Buzzbait (almost every fish during this time I caught this year had a bluegill tail sticking out of their throat) Summer: 1/2 oz or 3/8 oz Jig with a Rage Craw trailer pitched into shallow brush piles.

Schuyler co Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Early spring/cold water: suspending jerkbait Pre spawn: jigs, square bills Spawn: jigs, drop shot Post spawn: jigs, big t rigged worms summer/hot water: spooks early, drop shot during day and my most productive fishing is at night with a black/blue spinner bait with big Colorado blade 1 Quote
papajoe222 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Pre-Spawn: Blade Bait, Jerkbait and Jig/Pig Spawn: Tube and popper Post Spawn: Jig and Tube Summer: Jig, or worm and Spook For a faster presentation I like cranks and buzzers Fall: Crankbait and White Jig Quote
Super User Catt Posted July 7, 2016 Super User Posted July 7, 2016 Winter, spring, summer, or fall...I use em all! Of course their effectiveness depends on water & weather conditions. I don't shelf a technique just because the seasons change. 4 Quote
Big bass hunter Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Spring...... Swimbaits Summer..... Swimbaits Fall...... Swimbaits Winter...... Swimbaits If i get tired of chucking big baits all day i just go sturgoen fishing sit back in my chair and wait for a dinosaur. Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted July 7, 2016 Super User Posted July 7, 2016 This year so far: Early spring: lipless crankbaits pre-spawn: wacky rigged senkos, Texas rigged craws and creatures. Spawn: wacky rigged senkos and topwater post spawn: topwater current/recently: topwater, Ned rig and wacky rigged senkos. Now that summer is in full swing, I'll be tossing Texas-rigged 7-10" Culprit ribbon tail worms a lot. Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Late winter, 38-45 degrees: Suspending jerkbaits, blade baits, hair jigs, and the ned rig. Early pre spawn, 45-50 degrees: Suspending jerkbaits, jigs, and the ned rig. Mid pre spawn, 50-55 degrees: Suspending jerkbaits, jigs, chatterbaits, ned rig. Most lures will work during the pre spawn period. Late pre spawn, 55-60 degrees: Chatterbaits, square bills, jigs, rattle traps, etc. Spawn, 60-70 degrees: Ned rig, jigs, lizards. Post spawn, 70-75: Ned rig, jigs, topwater. Summer, 70+ degrees: Topwater, jigs, t-rigs Early/mid fall, 70-55 degrees: Spinnerbaits, crank baits, chatterbaits, swim jigs, topwater. Late fall, 55-45 degrees: Suspending jerkbaits, ned rig. Quote
