Is there a certain technique you plan to focus on this season?? I plan to work on topwater other than frogs,pitching and I have vowed to fish worms more.

Not a technique but I plan to fish a lot more. If I had to pick one Item to work on It would be learning all I can about eraly jerkbait fishing. I have seen this work with great success and have never really given it  a fair shot. 

I plan on fishing jigs. This last year I used a Texas Rig a lot. I plan to do more tournaments this year so I the goal is to attach bigger with not just number by switching to using jigs.

Drop shot when I can

Nothing new I'm focusing on just want to get back to a few things I've abandoned over the years.

Number one being the spinnerbait. It was once one of my favorite baits. Now I can't even remember the last time I fished it.

I had so much success with spinnerbaits to start the season last year I threw nothing else for probably my first four or five outings. Just was no reason to get off of spinnerbaits.

 

As for the original question, this year I want to put an emphasis on fishing bigger swimbaits. I had the same plan last year but was too impatient and would abandon them for other proven baits after a short time. Hopefully I'll do better this year. 

Soft plastic swimbaits is one If my others.

I'm on a personal mission to see how many fish I can catch on a 5 inch grub on 1/4 oz flat eye ball head....wish me luck.

 

I'm going to concentrate more on crank baits, plus delve into bigger swim baits and glide baits. 

I think I'm going back to fishing soft plastics mostly this year.I messed around with different techniques a lot this year and didn't catch many those ways.Moving baits such as cranks and spinnerbaits just don't seem to work much where I fish.

I do plan to frog fish more,and focus some on top water.

And I can always fall back on live bait!

 

 

I plan to devote some serious time to swimbaits this year. I also want to get back to worm fishing more this year. The last two seasons I was learning a lot of new techniques to broaden my arsenal. Next year I want to take what I now have built up and hone my strategy a little more. 

Soft plastic swimbaits, jigs, and pitching and flipping things like rodents or rage bugs

 I plan to improve my deep water structure fishing but I strive to do do that every year . I spend lots of time studying my sonar . Its captivating . I would like to decipher fish signals better . Active fish from inactive and so on .

I want to work on learning the A-Rig.

 

Learning to fish deep, learning deep clear lakes better where shallow is well less then 20ft and deep is like 50+ft.  

Ned and Neko rigs will be experimented with for me when the bite gets tough this coming season instead of just relying on drop shotting, flick shake, and shaky heads.

I bought a dropshot rod last spring and didnt get to use it at all. So im hoping I can "break it in" this year.,... as well as,.. soft plastic swimbaits, I bought a plano 3700 full of them last year and will try to implement them in their as well.

I will be focusing on jerkbaits this year as well as trying to learn how to jig fish.  I have seen many good fish taken on a jerkbait but have only tried/caught a few.  I am all stocked up and ready to fish as soon as the ice breaks!!

Fluke and jerkbait fishing I have to get back into the mix some more this season. Just got overwhelmed with other things. 

I don't believe there is such a thing as technique

id like to get some more experience with dropshots but the fish want what they want

I'm gonna try to catch some fish on a jig and a Carolina rig.  

I was really thinking about trying to maybe give that Ned thing a chance if I can remember to do it. But probably not.
