What's your preferred method of fishing?

[Sword of the Lord]

That you like and do the most? 

 

For me it is soft plastics. Worms, Senkos, creatures, flukes, etc.

 

I would say this is 90% or more of my fishing. Sometimes I fish spinnerbaits and top waters.

 

I borderline hate crankbaits.

[BuzzHudson19c]

Top water by far. Frogs, buzz baits and spooks. Once the conditions tell me I have to break the surface I die a little inside.

[CroakHunter]

Jig and craw. Followed by a big worm with a 3/8 oz bullet weight.

[Ktho]

I like pretty much anything that gets it done, the only thing I'm not a big fan of actually fishing is weightless senkos or drop shot but of course biting fish make up for it.

[NiX]

1/4, 3/8, 1/2 Jig and Craw is my preferred method at the moment.

[jonkevin]

Top water by far is my favorite style... especially with the Popmax!

[IndianaFinesse]

Buzzbaits and fishing frogs in the slop, there is nothing like having a bass blow up threw matted grass and slamming the hook into them. Buzzbaits get the favorite nod in tournaments cause the hooking percentage is better though.

 

And here's something for the blasphemy thread, my absolute least favorite technique is jig fishing.

[riverbasser]

Anything that keeps my line tight.

 

My favorite are either top water or the days I can call my shots while pitching jigs to cover

[soflabasser]

My favorite technique to catch a bass on is with a topwater lure.

[Catt]

What's are Bottom feeder?

 

CATT is

 

Once the boat comes down off of plane the first thing I grab is a Texas Rig, Wacky Rig, Shaky Head Weightless T-rig, Carolina Rig, Jig-N-Craw, Mojo Rig, Rage Rig, Drop Shot or anything that takes me to the bottom.

 

I'm gonna be casting, flipping, pitching, punching, hopping, dragging, shaking, dead sticking, or skipping.

I don't care if its grass, brush, timber, rocks, docks, pads, lay downs, shore line or off shore. I don't care if its pre- spawn, spawn, post spawn, summer, dog days, fall, winter, morning, noon, or night.

 

Give me 2 rod-n-reels with any of the above techniques & I be happy, happy, happy!

[Fun4Me]

Frogs, frogs, and frogs

[MichaelCopeland]

Favorite methods, for me, is Texas rigged weightless and Carolina rigged with a 1/4oz or 3/8oz bullet weight. They are the only things I really get bit on. I do like learning my Booyah Pad Crasher, though. Had a couple bites on it, unfortunately no hook sets yet. I ain't giving up on it though! ?

[Jar11591]

Top water on a glass-calm lake, and also pitching jigs or Texas rigs to logs and lay downs. 

[Dtrombly]

My favorite way to catch them is heavy cover froggin. When that's not an option I have the most fun pitching laydowns, with ribbontail worms and craws. 

[Dens228]

My favorite, but also most frustrating is topwater frogs.

 

My go to that is most successful are Senkos, usually weightless in either a Wacky or Texas rig depending on vegetation.

[scaleface]

My favorite is chucking a buzzbait . What I do the most are T-rig worms .

[Brett's_daddy]

Topwater is far and away my favorite way to fish! I will stick with topwater as long as I possibly can, exhausting all of my topwater options sometimes to my own detriment when I really should reassess my plan of attack and start moving down the water column.

[Mike L]

My favorite is any top water, but if I had a choice I'd rather punch.

Current: Ned rig, drop shot, wacky

[higgins617]

Mostly soft plastics, wacky is definitely my biggest confidence set up on my lake.

 

Lately been loving inline spinners 

[the reel ess]

It's topwaters by a long shot. I love it when a bass attacks a topwater to annihilate it. When I was younger it almost stopped my heart! I'd rather catch 5 medium bass on top than 10 on the bottom. I arrange my trips to be mostly in the evening because that's when I feel most confident I can get a topwater bite. Sometimes I go out with 5 topwaters tied on.

 

Second to that I like the good ol' T rig 6 to 8" plastic worm. I like to feel the bite, reel down and see the line moving and WHAM-O! I like spinnerbaits-caught my PB on one. I've really grown fond of lipless cranks lately. They catch big'uns.

[tcbass]

Topwater by far. 

 

Favorite lures for it: Whopper Plopper and Teckel Sprinker Frog (homemade for now).

[Dorado]

Changes all the time, but this year, giving lipless cranks or chatterbaits with Fluke trailers a "yo yo" have been consistent from bank to kayak

[nighthawk25]

I prefer fishing crankbaits and jerkbaits and have caught fish on them but weightless senkos have been most productive.

[MTPanda]

I prefer topwater for the sheer excitement and jigging.  But my top producers have been either drop shotting senkos or roboworms.
