Been getting out a few days this week. Spent my time bank fishing a 10 acre public lake. This place wont give up a 14” bass after spring…too much pressure. But for now its showing its potential.
As you can see from the pics, my two go-to lures in the Spring are the lipless crank and the lizard. The lipless paid off the first couple days but they wouldnt touch it yesterday. Thats when the lizard pulled through and helped me put some fish on the banks.
I dont get to do much spring bass fishing, I’m usually boating walleyes. But I did catch some last year flipping a chatterbait around shallow brush and cranking it out. they seemed to hit it pretty well.
Lipless and a senko. Ive already caught a wod on a lipless this year, i have so much confidence in it, sometimes ill throw it all day and never put it down.
Same as RiverRat a sus. jerkbait Lucky Craft 78 or 100 looking forward to using a Staysee 90 and 78 DD this year. Also a red craw lipless bait or the red craw chart. color especially for smallies here in Michigan.
So far in 2010 its been energy drinks and cigs. Ive been out several times but cant seem to put it together. Last year I did well on lipless cranks, and spinnerbaits.
My 1 - 2 punch this spring has been the Langill Lures Hover trap in slow sink ( chrome black back & thredfin shad), and a booyah 1/2 oz boo jig in brown with a 4 inch gene laurew craw in brown orange
I use either a jig/trailer combo or texas-rig a senko. If the jig aint working slow, I’ll speed it up and somewhat swim it in. If no luck there, I’ll work that senko really, REALLY slow. Been thinking about using a lipless this spring from all the hype I have heard and seen, but never had luck on it in the past..
Lipless has been the only thing I’ve caught anything on so far in my 3 or 4 trips to the ponds. The conditions have been pretty terrible, with 20-30MPH winds to go along with extremely low pressure. I got out on Saturday with slightly better, but still windy conditions & caught a couple good ones & a 14.5” bonus crappie on a chrome/black back Redeye Shad. I’m hoping the chatterbait starts catching some & I can get out there when I can actually throw some unweighted/light weight plastics without fear of the wind blowing them back over my shoulder.
