Rhino Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Spring time is the primo time for bass fishing around here. With spring on us now I was wondering what some of your favorite baits were for that time of the year. Mine change a bit depending on what's hot that particular spring but this was the hot lure for me last spring. A 5" chopstick worm, in junebug color, fished Texas style without a sinker. The bait is heavy enough where you don't need a sinker. Here's what it looks like. BTW, one warm day last month I fished that bait too. Caught 21 bass in an hour and a half. 7 of those were on the 1st 8 cast. No big fish though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerdanmagic Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Re: Your favorite spring bass bait I love fishing creature baits, (ie-Brush Hogs, Sweet Beavers, etc) in the spring time. Once they start spawning, those big females hate to see creatures headed for their beds. I also love Horny Toads and Tiki Toads in the spring. I fish them all Texas rigged with and without a weight. Last year I started adding rattles to most of my plastics and I had great results. Plus the added weight of a glass rattle helps to get down to the stikezone a little quicker without using a bullet weight. My favorite colors for here in Oklahoma are June Bug, Watermelon, Chartreuse and Pumpkin seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggs Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Your favorite spring bass bait lizard- hands down. Nothing produces big females like a lizard IMO. That's my shallow water lure of choice, for deeper water a jig-n-pig, and a white spinnerbait if I want to cover a lot of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbreedi1 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Your favorite spring bass bait My favorite is a bubble gum Zoom trick worm. I have caught tons of bass on this! Also, a 5" swimbait around beds is a big producer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Re: Your favorite spring bass bait For sight fishing bedding bass, a tube bait in an easy to see color. When not sight fishing, either a Senko or a Super Fluke with the color adjusted to match the water clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Re: Your favorite spring bass bait Early Spring I'll throw a jerkbait (suspending rogue). As the fish move up I'll throw a jig or a Baby Brushhog. I like a 4" tube as well. Eric This girl ate a Bill Norman crank. This butterball ate a jig. Another jig fish!
