dieselaw Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 i was just wondering what were some of your favorite lures for finding bass at the lakes, something u can fish quick and hit a lot of water effectively. Quote
NewScreenNameAdvised Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Its still a bit early out here in AZ, but during the fall I love to throw deep diving crankbaits...LC D-20s and Norman D22s. I'll just set the trolling motor on 2 or 3 and cruise the shorline, fishing 8-15 feet of water. Quote
BassinBoy Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 For me summer is all about vegetation, but deep water techniques can be very affective also although im not a good deep water fisherman so i cant help you with that. Soft plastics and frogs in the weeds are great. Quote
JShrock07 Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 Try throwing a jig in deep water structure. If you have a hard bottom throw a deep diver that will knock off anything hard it hits. That will help you find the fish. Fish will react to something loud that has a good contact with the bottom. Another great technique is to throw a C-rig large worm. I also like to throw strike kings red eye shad. It has a great woble and very loud. In times where I cannot catch any fish I will just about throw everything I have at the fish. Good Luck to You -Nitroman Quote
Super User 5bass Posted August 16, 2008 Super User Posted August 16, 2008 Summer- deep cranks and jigs anywhere from 8-25 ft deep Fall- crankbaits and spinnerbaits generally more shallow. Bass will be keying on shad big time in the fall. You find the shad, you find the bass. Quote
Terex Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Lakes that have at least a fair amount of shallow water vegetation I always use poppers and topwater cranks at twilight/dark hours. Lakes that have little to no shallow water vegetation, I use spinners and diving cranks Quote
FordNFishinLover Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I use a Jig, or a weighted lizard or worm Quote
Fishin247365 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Summer- deep cranks and jigs anywhere from 8-25 ft deep Fall- crankbaits and spinnerbaits generally more shallow. Bass will be keying on shad big time in the fall. You find the shad, you find the bass. X2 When it comes to locating fish, I'll throw a buzzbait all day during practice if the conditions allow it. Otherwise you gotta cover water and find the cocentrations of fish, then you can slow down and refine your presentations and try and figure out a pattern. I'll always have a spinner bait tied on,.. 1/2oz when searching so I can get it deeper, cast it farther, and burn it. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted August 17, 2008 Super User Posted August 17, 2008 the rapala DT series is my favorite way to cover water of all depths and they catch fish! Quote
