Favorite Way To Fish

I love heavy line, heavy rod, heavy jig fishing. I love fishing a jerkbait in the spring too but I think that's mainly because it's the first thing they start hitting that isn't super slow moving after the long, cold winter.

My favorite way to fish is topwater. Starting with the frog. That is by far my favorite. Following with burning Uvibe worms and spinnerbaits.  :eyebrows:

Swimming jigs / spinnerbaits are becoming a favorite of mine too

It is either a jig or a jitterbug.  I can't decide.

I love super finesse fishing with ultra light lines and small baits. You would be surprised with the size of the bass you catch, especially the smallmouth. Other then that I love deep cranking and fishing jigs around cover.

My favorite way to catch fish are with shallow to mid depth Crankbaits and Top water! Man O man there is nothing like seeing a bass explode on a spook.

Square bill crankbaits and a dropshot

Top water !!! Buzz bait or a poes cedar ace in the hole after a good tuning of the blades. Nothing in the world sounds like those once you have the blades bent just right.

Top water is the most exciting using a popper or twitch bait ... A spinner bait followed by a jig is the most versatile .

Cranking!

Bottom contact. Jigs, t-rigs, and shallow dropshotting.

Topwaters hands down. I love pitching jigs and creatures too though. It's all fun though, though I would say drop shotting is my least favorite.

Biffle Bug on a 7/16oz hard head with a cotton ball dipped in JJ's Magic stuffed in the hollow cavity, and the tail dipped about a 1/4 up. Fish flat out nail it.

I'd have to say my favorite is probably dragging a t-rig along the bottom. But I'd be fibbing if I said I didn't enjoy a top water blow up also.

Dropshot became my favorite this year and I don't ever not have it on the deck when fishing it's become a confidence thing. Especially when a 3# just taps it ever so slightly then proceeds to try and rip the rod out of your hands when trying to get him away from the cover lol followed by crankbaits man I love those things

Successfully.

That said, totally frogs. Then finesse.

Topwater and crankbaits

A very recent discovery but without a doubt my favourite way to fish for bass is with topwater frogs. I don't catch nearly as many but when I do they are on average bigger fish than the ones I catch using other methods. Not to mention the blowups! Surface strikes get the heart pumping like no other. 

I can say with 100% certainty that a 3/8 oz double willow white spinnerbait is both my favorite and most productive lure. But my PB was not caught on a spinnerbait. My PB is 8lbs and my PB on a spinnerbait is 5lb.

Flippin' in the nastiest cover around.

Me too.

A jig or a drop shot but probably a jig if I had to pick just one.

Squarebills are definitely my favorite! Another one of my favorites is the soft jerkbait. I love the bite, your line just starts to swim away and you reel in the slack and set the hook hard!
