I just fish in and around bass holding cover or structure. I dont know any better.

Thats a Fat Free Fingerling hanging out of this ones mouth.

I dont have the touch but keep thowing in them anyway. One thing that happens is after the hook penetretaes the basses mouth , then its exposed to catch on wood.

I like Bomber Cranks. I have a fat free Fingerling and it put a hawg in the boat a few years back. I should fish it more.

I caught a lot more big bass on pork over plastic but I caught a lot more big bass in the 70's and 80's than now period. I dont think they are as plentiful today.

Many years ago, fishing a club torurnament, the angler I was partnered with won it throwing a chartreuse bait with chartreuse Colorado blades. He limited both days where I only caught a few throwing every spinnerbait I had. I throw chartreuse a lot now.

I do keep a tarnished gold willow tandem in my arsenal. It works well with a sunfish skirt around bream beds. Just gives a little bit of flash.

I never fished the red white baits. They just didnt look like right. Even as a kid , they were not appealing.

I just started fishing again and now it might be over.I dont do cold. Hope to get a few Indian summer days . Big fish bite then.

Ive never shelled out more than ten dollars for a lure.

I dont know. Your picture, are you standing next to Daenerys Targaryen?

I've used the Silent Red Eye Shad with a lot of success. I usually use them yoyoing off the bottom. My favorite silent bait has a loose weight and its essentally a quieter one knocker. I'm very fond of that one.

BFS reel is something I'm interested in. I have a 6'6" Shimano Compre ML fast action casting rod. I've tried a couple of my reels on it. I'd like to be able to roll cast smallish cranks and other lures accurately but its not working. I dont know if a BFS reel would do the job or not.

Piscifun Phantom, discontinued now. I've caught probably one thousand bass on my first one and it still performs like almost new. Retrieves butter smooth, cast far. I ended up with five of them. I paid forty dollars for them.

A good buzzbait should cast well , with the blades spinning in the air. If it flops around like a wounded duck then try another brand.Cavitrons and Lunker Lures cast nicely. I never liked the Norman Triple Wing baits. After being skunked with one and my partner nailing bass after bass with a Lunker Lure,I took it off never to use it again.They just dont have that chirp. I dont use clackers either.

I have some. I use to have some Mister Twister buzzbaits. They made one with two props one behind the other

I mostly go slow. If you havent already, crimp the rivet so it doesnt spin to make it chirp.

It seems like the less commotion the bigger the fish.

Buzzbaits are addicting. I have worn out dozens of them.

Need to try and fish the next few weeks Its that time of year and looking at the recent photos, big bass are hungry. Great job dudes, lets catch some more. I've caught scads of bass deep points but never a spot like described.

Yep. You dont want the lure landing on their heads.

Buzzbait

I have worn out many blades and rivets. The bad thing is right before they are worn through the lure is at its best. They get better with each cast. I recommend buying an original Lunker Lure or other buzzer and wear that baby out.

...and to add to my post above. The two boats that were catching fish were also fishing solo and being extremely quiet as was myself. The two boats that were struggling had two and three fishermen aboard and were pretty noisy.
