Bass fishing: So, worms just ain’t workin for me!
Aug 13, 2020 08:47:30 #
I’ve been trying all week to land a bass, using the Texas rig, Carolina, wacky, etc. The biggest problem I have is I am a little impatient and not that great at paying close attention to my line for strikes. I fish catfish normally, so I’m used to just sitting there and waiting for a big ol thump. I have a few crank baits but they aren’t turning up anything either. Are there any other lures I can use in a shallow pond that are retrieve focused, not subtle line twitches etc? I have a 6”6 medium fast shimano convergence with a Sedona 3000 reel.

But get the floating jerk bait if you are fishing shallow water. Lipless crank baits don’t dive too deep so they are ideal for shallow water

Just get a spinner bait bud! Great for weedy ponds. When they grab it just set hard to one side and you're on!

Yes kinda like cat fishing get you some Z-man TRDs ( Ned rig ) and some shroomz jigheads (weedless) I perfer, these baits stand up on the jighead and wait for a fish to bite it just wiggle it once n a while On semi slack line or you can fish it like a worm on the same jighead good luck and Fishon Fishon!!!!

Bass are funny ,they don't strike just because they are hungry,they are territorial.You have to tease them a bit to make them feel threatened then they bite to defend their spawn in the spring. Early morning and early evening they are usually in shallows near shore.I wish I knew more but I'm not a bass fisherman...I just fish

Top water frog. To increase odds of landing bass, use a trailer hook with it. Early morning is best. I love seeing a bass hit a frog! Top water Buzz baits should also work and are lots of fun too. Like the frog, use a trailer hook. If the bass are hungry - live bait, like big minnows/shiners will land fish for sure. That's what is used to catch the huge bass in FL. Many fish bite if you've got the right bait!
