The best thing I have found is a black spinner bait with a colorado blade number 4,5, or 6 depending on the size of your spinnerbait, 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 respectively. Now there are a lot of baits that will work but this has been the best producer for me. At light I like to cover water and find the feeding fish instead of pitching a worm or jig trying to coax a fish to strike. The old standby jitter bug in straight black is making a strong come back in our area as well.

Out west we used to use them quite a bit at night, baiscally stuck with the rouge though. The wate is a lot clearer than where I am at now and on a good strong moon night they were great. Usually worked best with a pretty steady retrieve though. With that said you would think a rattle trap would work well but it never really compaired.

Oh most definately, one of the things that really amazed me was when I was playing with a bait in a pool. I never realized just how far I was really moving that bait along the bottom. Take a carolina rig and as you sweep it, my best guess is that the bait moved at least double the distance your rod did, it's all about the angles. But never the less it looked very unnatural. So leason learned, shorter sweeps for this guy

I don't know about the freq? but they FEEL and that sound wave going threw the water has got to be easily detected by their lateral line. A bass can feel a bait fish moving threw the water I am sure he or she can detect that sound wave? and if they can what do they do about it?

Completely do respect your opinion and thank you. Didn't mean to come across like that but now that I reread it I guess I did :-[ :-[ :-[

Barametric Pressure has a major effect on fishing. The jury is still out as to exactly why, simple because a bass can swim from 25 feet deep to the surface (huge pressure change compaired to atmospheric) and not seem to effected (much deeper and they have swim bladder problems but this has nothing to do with BP either). One school of thought that I tend to lean towards is the fact that High BP swashes the micro organisms that start the food chain. Which in turn slows the whole feeding process for a couple days

I have played with this exact theory quite a bit and come to a strange conclusion. The more fishing pressure a lake recieves the more the clicking seems to prevent strikes. This will take years to prove though as there are only about a half a million different things that can change the mood of the fish. The only conclusive results I have had are school bass. I have on more than one occasion seen school bass quite and the only common thread was the depth finder. So I did it on purpose and the fish definately seemed to move off or quit. I'm with Taylor though, no matter how well you think you know an area there is always a big rock or stump or even just a single stick up that you have never seen before and it will hold fish.

Obviously Post Spawn can be very tricky in dealing with finicky tired bass. I like to cover a lot of water, fishing reaction baits. Time is limited, whether you are a tournament angler or just out for fun, sooner rather than later out time on the water will be over for the day. So I like to fish top water or jerkbaits and cover as much water as I can to get the reaction strike or feeding fish strike, spending time trying to finesse a fish is very time consuming so cover water and put your bait in front of as many fish as you can

Every one claming that this very well built and informative site is the best. I would love to know what you sites you are comparing it too? There are a ton of bass fishing sites on the web!!
