This year is this first time my neighborhood pond has water clear enough to see the bass on the beds. Being that I haven't really focused on bed fishing before, what are your top 3 bed fishing baits you use?

Just try a bunch of different stuff, preferably with bright colors so you can see them take the bait a little easier.

-Tubes
-Lizards

-Flukes/paddle tails

-Dropshot

-Craws

 

Good luck!

Here ya go!

My top three would be a dropshot, swimbait and a  jig. 

Rage Lizards

Rage Menaces

Floating Jerkbait

White grubs or chartreuse grubs if you can find them, throw it in let it hit bottom and shake it

Make sure you release immediately or you will most likely destroy the reproduction from that bed.

I like anything white that is small enough to fit in the fishes mouth. Mainly white zoom tubes. If it is too bulky you'll have a hard time getting the hook in. A drop shot is also good when you have to leave it in the bed for a while.
