Your top three bass catchin' techniques

[Rattlinrogue]

What are your top three bass catchin' techniques.It may be your most successful or just your most fun or a combination of the two!My three are: 1)Floating jerkbait used as a topwater in lowlight conditions 2) the Carolina rig with a lizard or a finese worm 3) Pitchin'/Flippin' a tube or jig into cover

[Capt. George]

1.  Gill Net

2. Cast Net

3. Dynomite

A fourth method is a small dragger, if the lake has a big enough ramp... :

2.skipping ZOOM trick worms under docks and overhanging trees  

3.throwing small homemade spinnerbaits and burning them by deeper laydowns and seawalls.

1. Wacky worming a Zoom U-tail worm in just about any type of cover.

2. T-rigged worm.

3. Crankbaits.

[Guest whittler]

2.  Grubs

3.  Did I mention crankbaits

3. Soft plastics, weighted

But my favorite technique is fishing jerkbaits.

[kbj3579]

1.  Plastics - Weightless and t-rigged

2.  Crankbait along rip rap

3.  Spinner bait in spring.

My favorite is Jig, still need work on that though.  I think it's more of a confidence thing than anything else.

[Guest the_muddy_man]

1. weightlessTrigged worms Zoom tricks/orswamp crawlers and Manns Jelly

2. Original Floating Rapalas #7to#11 at sundown the jointed version

3. Whenm the fish arent bitting M-80's OVER THE BOW a fgure s pattern about 25 yards from shore paralell to the shore seems to work best ;D ;D

[GobbleDog]

C-rigged Chompers (Senko type bait) for open water.

T-rigged Trick Worms when casting at specific targets in shallows (lilly pads and docks).

My third most productive technique is everything else...crankbaits, minnows, topwaters, etc... (obviously never as consistent as worms).

[DDbasser]

(1) Jig and Pig

(2) Spinnerbaits

(3) plastics weighted and weightless

[basser89]

(1) Spinnerbaits

(2) Flippin and Pitchin tubes

(3) Wacky rig

(4) Buzzbaits, sorry just couldn't leave that one out!  

[Cephkiller]

1) Buzzbait

2) Frog

3) Crankbait

These are the most fun/effective for me.

No. 1:  Matt's Baby Bass swimbait--just started it this year and it's brought me my new PB, a 9 lber plus many others from 1.5 lbs and up.

No. 2:  Wacky-rigged, 5", color #222 Senko.

[WCCT]

1. Dropshot small handpoured worms

2. C-rig or split shot 4-5" lizards

3. Burning a spinnerbait

[Peter E.]

Captain George's loading depth charges  , fool proof!

I on the other hand tend to go with:

1. Waked spinnerbaits

2. Soft plastics t-rigged

3. crank baits digging up the bottom

Fish on!

[Matt Fly]

Anyone of these can produce a trophy any time.

Any top waters.

Slow rolling spinners

my own 18 inch plastics

swim baits

 

[KU_Bassmaster.]

1) Pitchn'- any plastic

2) Flippn' - any plastic

3) Crankn'

[Rattlinrogue]

Since it's my thread,I get 3 more choices...LOL...1)spinnerbaits in the shallow cover 2)buzzbaits in the shallow cover 3)Horny Toads in shallow cover.

[Peter E.]

For fishing shallow heavy vegitation like lilly paps and slop, I use:

1. In-Line buzz bait (hildebrant)

2. Large soft plastic frogs, lizard, or worms fished on top of the water

3. Trick worm

With a stout action rod and heavy test, when you use these you can catch fish out of places most wouldn't even put a boat near!!!!

Fish on,

Peter

[Hookhead]

[EZ_Spin]

1) 1/2 ounce White and Silver Roostertail

2) Finesse worm on a Spot Sticker Jig Head

3) Black Crankbait digging up the bottom at night

The Rooster Tail is my go to bait for numbers and even big spotted bass on Lake Lanier but works everywhere.
