I learned a cool new (to me) lipless crankbait tactic today.

I was fishing a 1/4oz lipless crankbait. When bringing it back to the bank off one cast I was coming close to some slop a few feet from me and slowly reeled around it. A bass came out of nowhere and edged up to it and took it softly. So I just started jigging it a foot or two from the bank and one after another, the bass slowly came up, examined it, and then took it. Was like catching fish in a barrel.
