Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ A-Jay

I used to but not any more ~ Thank You Lund ! A-Jay

Fish long enough - we're going to kill a few sometimes despite our best efforts. C & R is good and so is eating some ( just not fond of bass but do chow hard on a few others). As for dead bass going to waste - most all of the habitats I'm fishing have a very health population of all kinds of "Dead Bass" eating critters; including but not limited to Eagles, Loons, Turtles, Catfish and I'm sure there's a few more I have listed. So if & when I've release one and for whatever reason it ends up floating behind the boat, it's not long before it's chow for something. And I bet they appreciate it too. A-Jay

Hello Esteban and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ To me "Thinking outside the Box" in bass fishing is the same thing as Adapting to the situation in order to get bit. In most situations the key the often lies in not what others are doing but doing what works. The more time & experience an angler has on the water, the more tools they'll usually have at their disposal. A-Jay

For a heavy weight forward, fast fall rate, with a solid thin wire hook suitable to be fished on light-ish line, this IS the option. A-Jay

Some traditionally fished "seasonal" baits have proven effective moving into the next season; with a little modification in presentation. My examples are Blade baits, Jerkbaits & Lipless crankbaits. Early season colder water scenarios with all three of these usually dictate a some what slower presentation which often includes a certain amount of pause where the bait either suspends, falls slowly or in the case of the Blade bait, is often taken while sitting motionless on the bottom. As the season progresses, the water warms & the metabolisms increase, these baits still remain very viable options. The location of the fish can & often does change. However, by adding the element of speed to these baits they become both decent "search baits" and effective strike getters once bass are located, being responsible for both numbers & size. With a faster stop & go / erratic cadence, more horizontal and / or vertical speed, these lures take bass well into the summer season. Just how much speed always need to be tested but most times faster is better. Then with the onset of the fall season and the cooling water, reverting back to the early season locations & presentations often keeps these baits in play. And the cooler it gets the better. But I don't slow the presentation down too soon. With fall bass in such an eating mood, seems they are still very willing & able to get on a bait that's on the go a little more so in the fall than at the same water temp in the spring. I don't know exactly how or why 50 degree water in the fall is different from 50 degree water in the spring - but sure seems like it is. btw - I could probably add a squarebill to this list as well.
