BassinBoy Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 It's been cloudy all day and the rain is coming down. Going out in a few hours so, when the weather gets bad what lures and techniques do you use? I was thinking about flipping and pitching some of the nastiest cover I can find Quote

Super User J Francho Posted March 25, 2009 Super User Posted March 25, 2009 Since there aren't many weeds shallow up here, yet, nasty wood is about all the cover you'll find, and any shallow bass will often associate with it. Don't be afraid to look for deeper coontail. Many of the ponds up here are supporting quite a good amount growth, deep weeds look fresh. Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 25, 2009 Super User Posted March 25, 2009 I was thinking about flipping and pitching some of the nastiest cover I can find Why ? They will not be as tight to cover.... :-/ Throw a double willow spinnerbait until your arms fall off around grass edges and any windy banks... Quote

Super User J Francho Posted March 25, 2009 Super User Posted March 25, 2009 I thought the same as well this past weekend. Nothing to show for it, until I started throwing a finesse jig into a fallen timber. It might have to do with temps dropping that day to below freezing, water temps dipped to 44°. Today its been warmer, and on the rise. I expect the spinnerbait will crush this Saturday. Quote

Rat-L-Traps Buzz Baits Shallow Cranks Carolina Rig Texas Rigs on & around deeper structure which is least effected by weather changes. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted March 25, 2009 Super User Posted March 25, 2009 As Catt says, spinnerbaits and my personal favorite Buzzbaits. During the summer here in Florida we get some quick storms moving through, and as the wind picks up and the water gets some ripple, I'll toss a spinnerbait. After the storm. winds usually die down and I'll throw a buzzbait along weedlines. To bass rains mean something is getting washed into the water and usually that something is on top, why not let it be your buzzbait ;D. Also, if its dead calm and still cloudy try a Pop-r after the storm, they'll crush it. Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 25, 2009 Super User Posted March 25, 2009 I wouldnt be throwing a buzzbait in Pennsylvania in March... Quote
Muad Dib Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 maybe a ripping crankbait nippin the bottom and off of some underwater points? Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted March 25, 2009 Super User Posted March 25, 2009 When windy I like pounding the wind blown banks with spinnerbaits, lipless cranks, and big loud prop baits! Quote
Tuckman Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 dark colored traps are dynomite in nasty weather Quote

Bass XL Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Try swimming a black power worm...this can be deadly. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted March 26, 2009 Super User Posted March 26, 2009 I wouldnt be throwing a buzzbait in Pennsylvania in March... :-X Probably wouldnt be my first choice, but I cant say it hasnt produced. The spinnerbait would be better, but.... Depends on the "where" Quote

WOW ! I keep wondering if this man and I are related or sumthin ' :-?, he thinks a lot like me. Quote
ChazfromVA Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 its either a spinnerbait on the windy points or grinding a a crank or trap on flats or also windy points.. the fish will tell you which one works Quote
