What came natural to you?

Finding, reading, and fishing shallow cover not only came natural to me but is also my favorite way to fish, nothing better than pitching a jig into a thick laydown and hammering the rod back into a biggin 8-)

Drop-shotting has also come very natural to me, which I think is strange because it seems way out of my comfort zone of shallow cover and heavy gear.

Unfortunately for me, no technique I've learned to date has come "naturally."

I have fought tooth, nail and claw to get good with crankbaits, poppers, and the drop shot.

These techniques as of now seem and feel very natural to me now.

 Pitching a jig around a laydown or just shallow cover was what came natural, it was how I first started fishing for big bass.

 Second would be dock fishing. I learned how to bass fish on a lake loaded with docks. They can be deep shallow, doesnt matter.  When I'am around them I will either finesse fish them with a small worm, shakey head, or a little jig. If the fish are going nuts, I'll find a stretch loaded with docks, but the motorguide on high and fly down the shore with a crank or spinnerbait.

my first real "natural" plastic worms with bullet weights......my first artificial that worked besides an inline spinner

when i first started, IN LINE SPINNER WAS THE THING! they were the best for everything from perch to bass to false hooking a carp.....

this season i learned senkos and they started pretty natural to me too....

Nothing came natural to me.  I really haven't picked up a bait and figured out how to work it on the first time without some kind of advice on how to work it first.  I had immediate sucess on a Rapala broken back but a friend told me exactly what bait to buy.  Gary Klein told me exactly how to work a jerkbait at a Bass seminar.  So I bought it and went out to the river with a friend.  I told him that I had a magic lure and I was going to give it a try.  I took the broken back out of the package, tied it on and cast it right next to a stump.  I worked it like a top water just like Klein had suggested.  BAM I caught a 2lb LMB.  My friend looked at me and asked if I had another one of those magic baits?  In the seminar Gary Klein had suggested that he liked to fish a jerkbait like a topwater at first and then jerk it back to the boat.  So I applied his technique to a bait that a friend suggested.  I applied other people's information and had sucess but it didn't come naturally.

The first bass I ever caught was on a Heddon Sonic orange with black lightning bolts. Also fished a Lazy Ike, Sputterfuss, and a rigged worm with a spinner in the front. Bet a lot on here have no idea what some of these are. Oops, also a Lucky 13 by Heddon. Not a lot of choices back then.

I started out with crankbaits, just cast them out and bring them back in.  When I started fishing jigs,  I had no problem working them slow and dead sticking them at times.  Plastics took me a little longer than jigs.  For some reason I just couldn't bring them in slow, I always wanted to crank them.
