bass are getting ready to bed and in some places already on beds! What are you throwing at them? Or what do you plan to throw at them? !!!!!

I'll rotate between a lizard, trick worm (maybe on a shaky head, maybe not) and a speed craw. 

All white.

My Bass are still doing the rip van winkle for another month at least.

Probably next month maybe won’t have to cast so far?

How bout June/May . 

As a general rule, bass don't care what you throw on their bed, they just don't want it there, so I tend to throw whatever I can see the best when they pick it up to move it off the bed.  I prefer baits that I can set the hook and not have to go through a lot material.  I also prefer a compact bait because they are not "eating" the bait, they have a habit of just picking it up by whatever is exposed, moving it and spitting it out.  

I don’t throw anything at a bass on the bed. I’m sure I catch them sometimes off a bed but rarely see them on one. And if I do see them on a bed, I usually only cast at them once or twice if at all. I like fishing for the hungry ones 

A Ned rig has proven to be a killer bed bait for me. I also like a swinging football head with a white Zman Turbo CrawZ or a keel weighted fluke allowed to settle on the bed. 

Rage menace on a shaky head.

Do you have a preference to keel weighted hook, brand, style, you use on your fluke?

I tend to also use a compact bait I like using a rage menace and I will usually use the summer craw color I think that’s what it called? The green pumpkin with chartuse belly. They can see it well and they usually eat it rather then move it because it’s a small compact bait in my experience.
