@GetFishorDieTryin 7 1/2" Ringworm was the first lure GL got rid of followed by the 6" Salty Craw. Without those two, ain't no reason for me to hang around.

Gators are most aggressive during mating season. Depending on which lake in Texas the population may be low.

If ya throw a Senko the majority of the time guess what the majority of your fish will be caught on? Anyone who has been around this site for some time knows my #1 most productive soft plastic for quantity & quality was a Gene Larew 7 1/2" Salty Rinworm in cinnamon pepper neon junebug laminate - camouflage. I've caught bass from Brownsville TX to South Central Florida, from the Gulf Coast to Northern Ohio. What made that worm so productive? Might have been the fact that I threw it 90% of the time!

In Mann's Jelly Worms I preferred Black Grape over Grape. My #1 color was Cinnamon Pepper Neon Junebug Laminate - Camouflage Sapphire Blue lizard is killer during prespawn/spawn A Blue Rebel Ringworm accounted for my first bass ever on Toledo Bend & my first 15 bass limit on the same lake.

I didn't reference a Skeeter, BassCat was the reference.

August 18, 2023 Ain't thrown one yet this year, don't see one in the near future.

Mudbugs, crawdads, crayfish, crawfish...pick one.

I started bass fishing throwing H&H spinnerbaits

This is my plan of attack How deep were they holding before the rain?

Definitely a lost art

Skeeter?

That's some serious bass kicking

Location: personally I would select one body of water & fish it year round. I would also target both shallow & deep water. I would put in at least 100-150 days on the water. Lure & techniques are personal choices

Perseverance is not giving up. It is persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it till the end, even if it's hard.

Where ya think the "swim" jig technique came from. Someone somewhere was dragging or hopping a jig, reeled up to make another cast, & got bit. Repeated that retrieve & got bit again. Now we got an entire selection of jigs, rods, & reels.

Braid I don't Big Game as often as necessary, sometimes depending on the cover I'm fishing once a week.

@Kites R4 Skyfishing I don't need a new rod! I don't need a new rod! I don't need a new rod!

If it ain't broken quit trying to fix it! It doesn't matter what lure you're throwing, when you get bit, stop & examine what you were doing when the bass bit. Repeat that retrieve ?

One of the things I like about Toledo Bend is its remote enough that after the spawn the pressure dies until fall. The fall pressure is short lived because of football & hunting season. Another reason I night fish is you can go all night & never see another boat. If you do see another boat it's a pontoon boat crappie fishing.

Or it could be old culvert

Lake Fork Flutter Spoon ?
