| I'm a worm/jig man for the most part I love the fineness baits | |
| but during the spawn I love to throw a frog or brushhog in the | |
| grass beds. Also during the summers when its hot out I like to | |
| throw a POP-R or other fast working topwater bait. | |

| I always use a motor oil colored curly tail worm during the day | |
| and buzzbaits at night. I've caught a lot on other stuff but | |
| those never let me down. | |

| Watermelon lizards along the bottom in shallow water, or | |

| One of the best baits I ever used and absolutely slaughtered | |
| bass with it was renegades craw worm in June bug color and it | |
| was impregnated in salt. They discontinued making this bait. If | |
| I would have known, I would have bought a case. I mostly use | |
| culprit worms now in the color of red shad or June bug. These | |
| have been my go to worms when fishing bass. It has worked for me | |
| time and time again and like the say, if it ain't broke then | |
| don't fix it. Everybody has a set of baits that they are | |
| confident in that consistently puts fish in the boat for them. I | |
| say if you found that recipe, then stick with it. | |

| The easier question to answer is "What type of bass baits DON'T | |
| you use?" for me. I use to be in a rut not so long ago where I | |
| always used the same three baits: Chartreuse/White 1/4oz. | |
| Spinnerbaits, Watermelon Red or Junebug crawfish, or a common | |
| colored 100 series Bandit crankbait. As I got older, I really | |
| started venturing out and researching feeding patterns, reaction | |
| patterns, spawning patterns, etc... Now what I throw all | |
| depends on where I am going, what time of year I am fishing, and | |
| the time of day, just to name a few of the variables. Here's | |
| some of my simple go to lures for the most part: | |
| Ribbit/Buzzbait - In the mornings when it's a little warmer and | |
| the fish don't mind chasing a bait. | |
| Chugbug/Rouge/Spro frog - In the mornings when it's a little | |
| cooler and fish aren't chasing those faster moving baits. | |
| 1/4oz. Spinnerbaits - Fishing bank cover like fallen trees or | |
| stumps that are close together | |
| 3/8oz Spinnerbaits - *My Favorite* Fishing spread out bank | |
| cover, drop-offs, grass, bushes, isolated structure, points, you | |
| name it! This is the all around go to for me! | |
| Fluke - Warm/Hot days, especially fishing grass beds or | |
| drop-offs. This bait is a must in the summertime! | |
| Diving Crankbaits - My fishing partner is the crankbait master, | |
| I don't fish them unless they don't want my spinnerbaits, but | |
| they usually do well in the same places a spinnerbait does, | |
| sometimes it just may be too shallow or too cluttered for a | |
| crankbait, but when they want it, there is nothing like the bite | |
| you get on a crankbait. | |
| Lipless Crankbaits - I use these in deeper water or when it gets | |
| so hot that the Bass migrate off the points and banks. | |
| Finesse Worm/Soft Plastics - I hated this kind of fishing, I | |
| always use to save it as my last ditch effort to bring in fish, | |
| until I learned how to properly fish it and let me tell you, | |
| sometimes, this is all I fish on a day's trip. A lot of people | |
| don't pitch their bait to every single piece of structure, they | |
| just throw here and there, trying to cover a bank fast and move | |
| on. I take my time! I throw multiple times to every piece of | |
| structure I can find and sometimes, I even circle back and start | |
| from the beginning again. In the last month alone, I have | |
| literally lost count of the bass I've landed finesse fishing. | |
| The key....TAKE YOUR TIME & RELAX! | |
| Jigs - I am still learning this type of fishing, whether I am | |
| pitching one or trying to swim one. I mostly go to these on | |
| those cold winter months when the fish are hunkered down and the | |
| bite is slow, slow, slow. | |
| These are the only lures I fish, and this isn't the only way to | |
| fish them. These are just my common ways I use them. I am by | |
| no means an expert, I don't even fish tournaments, I just love | |
| Bass fishing and always count the days to my next trip! | |
