little angler Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 He y'all was just wonderin what your favorite bass lures were, and the techniques you use when using these lures. Some of you might have seen my post about my trip to Nipissing,SO PUMPED. And if you guys have fished these lures on Nipissing please tell me where abouts. NOT ASKING FOR ANY SPECIAL FISHING HOLE OR A SACRED PLACE FOR FISHERY just a calm place where its not too choppy where my family and i can go. Thanks in advance you guys always leave the best posts!

BillM Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Nothing beats topwater fishing for smallmouth Which you should have no problems doing on Nipissing. I like the Zara Spook Jr's in frog colour along with the Zara Spook puppies in fire tiger. Make sure you use a leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Phenix 2 1/2 inch salted tubes in smoke color... Jitterbug in leopard frog color... Rattle Trap type crankbait in fire tiger... Senko worm in white or watermelon colors... If in real boggy type cover...small white rubber mouse... Never mastered the flippin' technique with a 'pig and jig' ( probably because I can't stand to fish) but Misfish and Terry have good luck with it...

Rizzo Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 for topwater I like a pop-r. Hard to beat a lively leech though. I just toss em out there, no weight no nothing, just let em swim around until your line suddenly tightens...let the fun begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 A Senko type plastic worm, hooked "Wacky" is deadly for Bass as long as the weeds aren't too thick. If they are, hook it Texas style. cast it and just let it sink. If nothing happens by the time it hits bottom, twitch it a couple of times, then retrieve it and cast again. Match the colour to the bottom or try something bright, like pink, or orange. I use a lot of Camo. worms that are a redish brown, sort of the colour of Coke.

Cudz Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 My new favourite smallmouth bait is the Gulp alive 5" leech. Thyey are expensive but well worth it. Drop shot them about 2o". Deadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassMan11 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Zara spook all the way... never fails me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 different lures for different water clarity and time of year, depth, day or night, cover and especially species (largemouth or smallmouth). If you said I cold only have one artificial bait to take with me to catch bass I would have to go with a 5" senko and I would use a 5/0 wide gap owner hook. You can fish it in open water at any depth, on rocks, in heavy cover, over lilly pads on the surface, at day and at night. Smallmouth and largemouth both love it. You can not go wrong with this lure. Unfortunately pike love it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Daniels Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 4 inch Zoom Dead Ringer in Pumpkinseed/Chartreuse. either fished texas style with a small weight, or rigged weightless and fished really slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a box of assorted plastics in Ohio last year and it had a bunch of those in it along with a few other flavour/colours. They don't seem to do much in our northern waters.

JF I'm really surprised you can't get them to work for you John! What with all the Mudpuppies and Salamanders up there! I like to work them slow, weightless, and rigged like shown in the pic in thick vegetation... or with a weighted hook on deep points and docks in the heat of the summer. Try them again now.

That's how I rig 'em, but I'll keep at it. Who knows? By the time we meet up I may have some tips for you. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'm not sure I've found a better lure than a 3 inch tube jig for smallies. Weight and color varies. Use the least amount of weight you can get away with. For color, smoke is a great all-around one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
