The Strike King Redeye Shad has been working for us. What's been working for you?

 

Nothing !

Could only get bit on tubes the other day. I’m not surprised, it’s my go to for this spot. They always eat a tube 

There are three things in my life that I live for: Lipless fishing, repetition, and lipless fishing.

 

I have success on them year-round here, but fall is a primo time. Can't get enough of ripping them through those shad schools and feeling the wallop from a big girl.

Evergreen SB Emerald Green fast as I could work it

Swim Jigs have actually produced the best for me lately.

Getting to be that time of year for me. Tubes are one of my favorite options from the mid 50's on down to ice over.

Vision 110’s and LV500’s are my most productive baits, with a couple Rapalas thrown in for good measure.

 

Soft plastics did not produce this year as they usually do.

I be getting a lot casting practice!

I'm finally starting to get bites on other baits than Scoundrels and Dingers.  The bass are slowly starting to go after moving baits.

I fish tubes year round, from 37 degrees to 80! I love tubes

Thanks for making me feel better about myself fellas. ? Other than that musky and four pounder last week, it's been rough. 8 and change won the tournament on my favorite lake last Sunday.

White spinnerbait got me 7 LM last Saturday here in Northern IL. All were in the 2-3lb range…Saturday’s bag was just slightly under 18lbs total!!!!

spinnerbait

I've essentially thrown nothing but a spinnerbait for the past 3-4 outings and they are chomping it.  The one down side is that I'm catching a ton of pike lately too and they are ruining my tackle.

I’m not setting the world on fire but Bombers, Rapalas and Rat-L-Traps. 

Not much is working these days when it comes to crankbaits or moving baits in general.  It's like the fish at my lakes disappeared. 

Texas rigged zoom finesse worm. Bluegill color swim jig with a summer craw menace.

Flukes and Spooks!  

Spinner baits, mini max, bandit 100, jigs 

Worse autumn I have had in many a year . I'm planning on making a trip to a small lake that I havent visited for over twenty years . Hoping a change in scenery will help .

Spinnerbaits and underspins. Some topwater action on the toad. 

SPRO Little John and Rock Crawler have been working really well for me. 

Been doing some pretty good damage with a green pumpkin jackhammer/zako. 

My luck is about like @A-Jay. The only thing I can catch fish on is either a Mepps spinner or soft plastics. The so called hot baits like square bills, spinnerbaits, and topwaters have been worthless. Went the other day and caught two small LMB and one striper on a Mepps and one small LMB on soft plastic.

4” Senko rigged weightless is my go to. Winter, spring, summer or fall.
