Hey I'm looking for some new lures to try any suggestions ?
Bass Fishing
What is your favorite bass fishing lure for fall or just in general
A six inch black rubber worm with a single twister style tail. Eighth oz. cone shaped slip sinker in front and an exposed long shank hook. I know many like to rig this weedless, but worms are cheap- think the exposed hook gives better chance. Of course eveyone prefers top water for the pure excitement, but if I gotta get me a bucketmouth , worm my go to of choice.
Best fall baits;
1. Lipless crankbait
2. Football jig
3. Deep crank
4. Buzzbait
5. A fluke
Overall, aside from fall, my favorite techniques to fish are a drop shot, a football jig and a 10" worm....I really love fishing all of these....a lipless crank isnt far behind though...gottta love a lipless! I also really enjoy dragging a tube...wish I got a chance to do this more. Jerk baits are super fun, too.
Sometimes I feel like I am the only guy that doesnt like fishing topwater all that much...lol
I've caught tons of bass on a black Johnson silver minnow with an Uncle Josh (real) pork frog, with about half the meat trimmed of for more action... as a kid, I remember one of my proudest moments was when I could successfully remove that pork from from the Johnson and put it back in the bottle with it's brine... and not having to ask Dad to do it...
2nd most came on rubber worms, rigged with a weedless hook or jig.. and lately rigged wacky...
3rd is crankbaits, my favorite being a Rebel WEE R in crawfish
4th, the classic floating rapala, especially effective on windy days
...all for all seasons
1/4 or 3/8 oz jig with a craw trailer or a crankbait. Both give you the versatility to fish a wide range of depths and speeds based on water temp and weather conditions. Spinnerbaits and swimbaits can also be good producers if you have lakes with a good baitfish populations. I also throw a tube a LOT, but not just in the fall. Again, it is a versatile bait that can be fished just about anywhere and you can use a 2.5" finesse tube up to a 4.5" or 5" flipping tube depending on the situation and structure.
