2017: Favorite Technique to Catch Bass
Re: 2017: Favorite Technique to Catch Bass
I checked spinnerbait because that my go-to bait on my home waters.
Buzzbaits weren't listed, so I suppose topwater would be my 2nd.
I love to Pitch/Flip/Punch when the moving bait bite slows down.

Senko's flat out catch here year around. Whacky or Texas rigged ... but my favorite is Punching ! Check !

Hard to beat a chatterbait in the spring!

You separated frogs from topwater, so frogs it is for me. Love it when the frog bite is on--heartstopping at times and love it when a bass nearly takes the rod out of your hands annihilating a horny toad.

Its my go to spring lure as well.gambergl1 wrote:Hard to beat a chatterbait in the spring!
Fall time when the smallmouth are schooling and busting the surface, chatterbait works pretty good as well...pretty much anything that moves is a good bait at that point.

I voted other since lipless baits were not an option. I'm pretty much addicted to a trap bite, have confidence to throw it all day long, as long as the weather is right. If there Is a little chop on the water and the fish are shallow, it's hard for me to put down.

i put "senko style baits" as i will fish the "ned rig" a ton this year, with both the TRD stuff from zman and a 3" stick bait (mostly from Barlows tackle, but alot of 3" yum dingers too), smallies LOVE a 3" senko!

Gotta go t-rig, so versital. In weeds, on top of weeds, deep, shallow and weightless. If there could only be 1 way it has to be the t-rig.

My favorite is a jerkbait and they work well most of the year in the lakes I fish. Spinnerbait is a close second and my go to bait after dark.
Re: 2017: Favorite Technique to Catch Bass
I would have voted Lipless Cranks as well, but my second choice was chatterbaits. both are tied on and ready to throw because both work.Bronzeback91 wrote:I voted other since lipless baits were not an option.

While I enjoy many types of bass fishing, nothing beats topwater....especially Frogging!

Re: 2017: Favorite Technique to Catch Bass
I checked pitching and flipping. I like pitching to heavy cover and vegetation. I like throwing a jig and I think the "hand to hand combat" of pitching in thick stuff is a lot of fun. My problem is I tend to fish painfully slow when I so that because I'm always so convinced there's a fish where I pitched. I know it slows me down too much sometimes, so I made a concerted effort to speed up - but it doesn't always work.
