You can reel it in steadily fast enough to make it run on top of the water with its legs making a commotion.Sometimes that is an effective way to fish it. But I have found that the ribbit works best when retrieved with twitches of the rod tip to simulate a real frog in the water.When the fish strikes the frog, let him take it for a while before setting the hook.You will boat more fish this way.I normally count to around 7 or so after the fish hits the frog before I set the hook. I’ve found that the best color is the red pearl for the ribbit. Good luck!

since they were still unable to catch any bass they switched to a different fish they thought might be easier to catch. now they’re finding out different.next month it will be “what is the best bluegill bait?”.

A big popper like a saltwater version of the Rebel Pop-R… they’re hard to find, but they work!A Cotton Cordell Pencil Popper is a proven striper topwater lure, in lakes and in the surf.A 7″ Heddon Wooden Magnum Zara Spook is another great topwater for stripers. I bought the 8″ version a couple days ago in hopes to use it during a trout stocking for largemouth.Yes, bluefish will hit topwaters also. They’re just as vicious…

l like the 7″ robo worm straight tail in oxblood/red flake. bass pro shop’s own brand has a great assortment of sizes, styles, colors. l do well by them too.
December 12th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
I dont live in Oklahoma so some of the advise is general:1. St croix rod 7′ spining reel with 4lb. flurocarbon line and a a soft plastic worm..brown or green wacky rigged for a finesse presentation in clear water lakes and rivers.2. st croix rod 7-8′ baitcaster reel with white spinner baits or lipless crankbaits in red, trout, and shad 8lb-12lb line for denser , murker, brushier area.
December 13th, 2010 at 12:54 am
on or around rocks in So Cal I would suggest plastics lizards first and tubes in seasonal colors of crawdads and frog patterns (plastics can be rigged weedless and can be fished without a wrong direction or presentation being backwards or subtly congruent to natures way) Spinner baits (not spinners) from the boat for sure and crankbaits where weeds and bottom growth would give cause for continual hang ups and snags.If spinners is what you primarily fish with then I would use the colors of the larger bugs about the region during the time of year you are fishing. Like hornets, wasps, yellow jackets and bees….. (but i would still throw a lizard in a rock pile for sure!)

This really depends on the season, the conditions and the time of day.In all honesty, I have great luck with purple Berkley Power Bait worms. If it’s around 7-8 p.m., I really like running top water. In this case, I like the Torpedo.In early spring, I find that pumpkin seed colored worms work well. As stated above, I like the Berkley Power Baits, but Mister Twister makes a nice worm as well.Just so that you know, large mouth bass and small mouth bass are attracted to different movements. Large mouth like things that move at a slighly slower pace, while small mouth like more sporadic/darting actions. Good Luck!

Bank runners. Dinks. Squealers. No matter what you call them, they’re undersized bass that always seem to latch onto your lure. Some lakes are thick with these immature fish, making daily catches of 10 or 25 tiny bass a common occurrence. Although they’re fun to catch, “dinks” can demoralize the angler in search of a lunker. For in bass fishing, many believe it’s quality, not quantity that counts. Most weekend anglers would rather catch one big bass than a bunch of small ones. What steps can you take to increase your odds of boating a trophy? Don’t count on luck; it has little to do with catching lunkers. Instead, use a game plan, one that will significantly increase your chances. The following are tips and tactics from several big bass experts that can move you into a bigger class of fish.1. Target Shallow Water: Florida’s Doug Hannon spends his time researching and fishing for big bass. Over the years, he’s caught 500 bass exceeding 10 pounds, most of which were from shallow water. The well known expert says when he first began hunting giant bass in Florida in the 1960s, he verified catches of bass 16 pounds and over by interviewing anglers. Ninety percent of these giant fish came from 3 feet of water or less. Hannon insists the bass, as a species, is a shallow water predator: “It’s shape, coloration and physical features dictate that it will most efficient in shallow water. It’s logical to assume the biggest fish will play closest to this ‘rule,’ because bass survive and grow large by following, not breaking , the rules.” One major exception: Recently, giant bass have been caught at great depths in the water reservoirs of Southern California. “Here, the bass and their preferred forage – trout – have both been transplanted,” Hannon adds. “But in most lakes nationwide, the biggest bass will be shallow.”2.Avoid Concentrations Of Small Bass: It can be fun catching a squealer on every cast, but it won’t put you on the path of a lunker, says fishing pro Charlie Ingram. “Small bass are distracting,” he say. When you’re getting hit after hit, it’s awfully hard to crank up and leave that area, but often that’s exactly what you must do if you’re after a big fish. Ingram, like Hannon, targets shallow water, but says not all shallow areas hold quality fish. This becomes “painfully evident” in a tournament when he catches 100 bass a day but has little weight to show for it. Ingram has discovered big bass prefer large, shallow flats with plenty of cover and an ample supply of baitfish. “Flats provide the basic needs of bass – food, cover and a place to spawn. For big bass, abundant forage is a major key. These fish won’t move far for a meal. Look for schools of baitfish on the surface and use a spinnerbait.3. Use Big Lures In Murky Water: Bass fishing legend Bill Dance proved that an amazing number of lunker bass can caught in water that looks muddy enough to plow. During a four hour period on a Tennessee river that was rolling brown with mud, Dance and his partner caught more than 100 pounds of largemouth and smallmouth bass. Most of them weighed 3 to 7 pounds each. The key was Dance’s insistence on using big lures. “The finesse fishing craze has taken attention from big artificial lures,” he says. “But where visibility is restricted, big lures are the ticket to success.” Dance believes bass need all the help you can give them in finding your lure in murky water. “A small lure will hurt you here,” he says. “The bass will never see it.” Dance likes big, beefy artificials, especially spinnerbaits, fat crankbaits and oversized jig-n-pigs. He fishes thee tight to cover, mostly when current is present. He says his biggest surprise is how lunker smallmouth nail these big lures. He catches bronzebacks as heavy as 9 pounds in murky water while using the biggest lures in his tackle box. Even with moderate water visibility, Dance chooses bigger lures. “If you see 10 peanuts and one cashew laying on the tabletop, you’d reach for the biggest nut first,” he reasons. It’s the same with big bass. They’re greedy. Why use a lure that’s the same size as the bass’s domain? Give it the chance at a real meal.4. Fish High-Light Periods In Clear Water: Hannon catches many of his biggest bass from Florida’s super clear lakes and rivers. Surprisingly, most of these are taken not at dawn or dusk, but “smack in the middle of the day.”"Bass are primarily sight feeders,” he says. “In clear water, this sense is utilized to the utmost. Visibility is highest in the middle of the day, and big bass feed at this time to take advantage of their full capabilities as predators.” Hannon disagrees with the myth that the sun’s rays cause discomfort to bass. Although many bass professionals believe this, it’s simply not the case, he says. “The bass is a member of the sunfish family. It’s also a predator, however, and all predators seek to conceal their presence from their prey. So when a bass hides in weeds or brush, it does so to escape detection, not to escape the sun’s rays.” Lure choice becomes critical when fishing clear water during high-light periods. Hannon relies on only the most realistic artificials, especially silvery minnow lures. As an alternative, live bait can be fished with great success. “Shiner fishermen often catch their biggest bass in the middle of the day, because that’s when the fish can easily see that the offering is real food, not an imitation,” Hannon says.5. Target Offshore Weedbeds: In many natural lakes and some reservoirs, the biggest bass may never move to the shoreline. Offshore clumps of hydrilla, milfoil or native aquatic grasses can provide an abundant food supply as well as a safe haven from angling pressure. “The natural tendency is to cast to the shoreline,” Ingram says, “but in a pressures lake, this will quickly deplete the better bass in the area. Few anglers ever fish offshore.”"Offshore” may not necessarily mean “deep water,” Ingram notes. The best offshore situation for big bass might be a submerged hill that rises within 4 feet of the surface. On a hump like this, solar penetration is adequate to induce thick weed growth. Big bass gravitate to such areas during the spawning season, where they deposit their eggs in holes between the weed clumps. Sometimes, the biggest bass in the lake return to these spots year after year. For this reason, Ingram urges anglers to treat these offshore gold mines with respect. “If you pull all the fish off a spot like this, they won’t be back next year.” Ingram will fish a variety of lures around shallow offshore weedbeds including spinnerbaits, jigs, plastic worms and crayfish imitators such as spider jigs. He’ll also try a topwater plug like the Rebel Pop-R.6. Learn To Pitch: Tennessee outdoor writer and river fishing expert Joe Montelenoe catches lunker bass from water you could spit across. His secret is pitching, a presentation also favored by many tournament pros. Monteleone says pitching allows you to place a lure, usually a jig or plastic worm, into the fish’s lair with the utmost stealth. This alone can move you into “a better class of fish.” Monteleone believes over time big bass learn to avoid lures that create a lot of commotion. “Most lures, whether it’s a rattling crankbait or a plastic worm, will make noise when it smacks the water if it’s cast with an overhand or sidearm presentation,” he says. “Big bass look for mistakes. They’re super-cautious about what they eat. If even a realistic looking lure makes too much noise entering the water, it will spook them.” Squealers, on the other hand, are attracted to noise, he adds. They’ll literally strike anything that moves, which is why you can catch a 6 inch bass on a topwater lure “as big as a cigar.” If they’re fortunate enough to live through the experience, they won’t be so quick next time about striking anything but the most realistic presentation. Monteleone taught himself to pitch in his backyard. He doesn’t advise to learn during a tournament or when one is excited about being on the water. “I learned sheerly by trial and error,” he says. To practice in the back yard, you’ll need a rubber practice plug, a small bowl and a baitcaster rod and reel (pitching is possible with spinning or spincasting, but preferred with baitcasting because of the reel’s revolving spool). Reduce the spool tension to a minimum setting and press the spool release button or thumb bar. Then, let out a length of line that matches the rod length. With the rod in your casting hand and practice plug in the other, release the rubber weight while swinging the rod tip toward the target. Keep the thumb in constant contact with the spool to prevent backlash. Lifting the rod tip toward the end of the motion adds distance to the pitch. Try pitching the weight into the bowl. If the plug lands into the bowl but bounces out, the pitch may be too flat or too high. Remember, this style of presentation is effective because it quietly places the lure where timid bass may be hiding, so work for a smooth, even motion to get the most for your effort. Monteleone demonstrates the technique at outdoor shows throughout the South. In many situations, he says, it’s the single most important factor for increasing your chances at a trophy.7. Target The Northwest Shore In Spring: Hannon catches many of his biggest bass in the spring, but he admits it can be a tenuous time for fish. “It seems every time you go to the lake in the spring, there’s a front passing through,” he says. “Cold north winds can chill the water and make a good presentation tough, shutting down the bite.” He says the northwest section of the lake is the place to be in the spring. “The cold north winds blow over the top of this area and hit with greatest severity on the opposite shore. That helps keep water warmer in this key part of the lake, often five degrees warmer than elsewhere. In the spring, five degrees can spell the difference between inactive and active fish.” The angle of the sun provides more sunlight and less shade on the northern shore, Hannon notes. This, combined with warmer water, leads to richer (and earlier) plant growth than in other sections of the lake. And the more plant growth you have, the more oxygen. The northwest section then becomes a haven for all sorts of life forms, including bass. “It’s the first place I’ll test in early spring.” he says.8. Read The Bait: Silver Spring, Md., bass guide and 1991 Big Bass World Championship state qualifier Jay Holt finds one group of bass may contain both squealers and lunkers. The key to catching the big ones, he says, is reading the schools of baitfish. “Smaller bass will usually be holding tighter to the bait, hanging on the school like a puppy chasing a ball around the room. The bigger bass won’t expend nearly as much energy in their feeding. They’ll be on the move 90 percent less than smaller fish.” Fishing tidal waters and rivers extensively, Holt invariably comes across bigger bass holding tightly to cover, or in a current eddy. He says the tactic he uses to connect to bigger fish is to watch the direction baitfish are moving, then cast downstream from the spot with the most feeding activity. In current, injured baitfish lose their equilibrium and will drift around current breaks and into eddies, where big bass are hiding. It’s as though the big fish anticipate this movement of injured bait into their lairs, and “just sit and wait for it to happen.” A presentation that appeals to waiting bass in tidal water is a lure with a slow, tantalizing descent, Holy says. “I’ll use a jig-n-pig, a 5 inch grub or a soft plastic jerk bait with some weight on it. I want to achieve the slowest fall possible without losing control of the lure in current.”9. Fish By The Moon: Hannon says a major step for him as a big bass angler was to realize the importance of the moon on fishing success. He correlated state and world record bass catches, and catches of giant bass entered in magazine competitions, against a lunar calendar. the results were astounding, most of the giant bass have been caught within three or four days of a dark or full moon. And the few not caught then seem to cluster halfway between the two moons. This knowledge had its impact. “I spend most of my fishing time around the new and full moons,” he says. But he cautions: “You can’t always get away to fish during these prime periods, so consult a solunar table to determine the best fishing period on the day you’ll be on the water. Then, plan your day so you’re on the place with the most lunker potential at the right time.”10. Encourage Good Conservation Practices: The water that gives up only squealers may hold few lunkers. The problem is often poor conservation practices. All the best big bass anglers I know faithfully release their catch, yes, even the lunkers. They know the lake’s big fish represent its future. Don’t practice bed fishing, for it invariably leads to a severe shortage of big fish. Handle all caught bass with extreme care. Also, when you share the boat with a buddy, help him understand the importance of such practices. You can make a difference between catching only squealers, and the bass of a lifetime.A Little Something Extra: Lure Profile And Big Bass – Why do some artificial baits do a better job of catching big bass when others fail? Doug Hannon believes a major reason lies in the lure’s profile. “Bass learn to recognize a long, slender shape as generally being safe to eat.” he says. “Baitfish with soft fins, such as shiners, shad and many creed minnows, have this slender profile. Other forage that meet this criteria are eels, small watersnakes and various salamanders, all of which are big bass favorites.” Eating spiny rayed species such as bluegills can be dangerous to a bass, Hannon says. If the spiny fins get stuck in the throat, the prey may be difficult or impossible to swallow. Once this happens, a bass probably learns not to eat anything with that short, squatty profile, Hannon believes. For this reason, most of the giant bass (those more than 15 pounds) are taken on slender lures, when live bait was not involved. “Plastic worms and slender minnow imitators have caught some of the biggest bass in the record books,” Hannon says. Admittedly, your chances of catching a 15 pounder may be slim, but you can increase the average size of the bass you catch by relying heavily on slender artificial baits, according to Hannon. Besides worms and minnow lures, he recommends soft plastic stickbaits such as the Slug Go, elongated topwater plugs like the Zara Spook and slander crankbaits like the Rebel Spoonbill.

Here are some fishing tips specific to YUM soft plastic baits (see source).Happy fishing!
December 15th, 2010 at 1:27 am
spinner bait (its the most veritile lure ever) you can fish it at any depth (topwater, mid level, deep), any speed (slow medium and fast), and any tactic (jigging cranking trolling etc)
December 15th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Spinnerbait over the weeds and around timber in shad color with chrome blades. Lots of shad and minnow species up there — Just bring the spinnerbait over the tips of the weeds and you will slay them.Crankbaits around rocks. In red or crawdad patternOn deep humps use a fire tiger color to mimic bluegills
December 16th, 2010 at 12:39 am
I like spinnerbaits and crankbaits.By the way, medium running crankbaits are in the 6-8 or 10 foot range, not 10-15…those would be deep running.
December 16th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
I find the rattle lip less crankbaits to be great producers I will tie on a 1 ounce (double tie on) cylinder weight (some times an ounce and a half in strong wind) 20″ or so above the bait (so it will sink and cast further) and count seconds as the bait drops down to always be fishing different depths until I find what depth the stripers are at and then keep counting to that same drop distance until they move off . I love the chrome with blue top and white with blue top but the black top works very good as well. I seem to always fish on this rig with Trilene 12 pound lo-vis green “Big Game” as my main line and a 10 pound floroucarbon leader. My best success is using a seven and a half foot pitching stick and a level wind conventional reel. It casts about a hundred yards.
December 17th, 2010 at 1:15 am
There is no such thing. Every one has a different idea of what the best bait is. It varies from lake to lake, one day to the next, one year to the next, even time of day may affect what the fish are hitting on.Water temperature has an effect, time of year and seasons of the year effect what the bass are hitting on the best. Fishing pressure will effect the bass bite.But, everyone will tell you what they catch them on the best. But notice there will be a lot of different answers.
