Hello I am new to the forums and I have a question  

Ok I have been fishing golf courses lately, and haven't had much luck.  I know there is bass there cause I can see them very clearly, I have caught 3 bass there so far and some bluegill, but I have been fishing there everyday for almost a month now.  My brother said its their spawning season so use something that looks like its attacking their nest or just cast throu their nesting spot repeatedly . I have tried both those and no luck, I have been using small dark colored crank baits , and I tried fake crawdads, but still nothing.   :-/

Any suggestions on tackle or strategies would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you  

Well your brother gave you pretty good advice. Try a lizard or a swimbait  and hop it along the bed. It's difficult to get spawning bass to bite/sight fish if it's new to you, and sometimes they just don't bite.

Welcome to the BR Forums - the PREMIER bass fishing site on the Net, IMO. Try a T-rigged Senko fished real slow. Let it drop to the bottom and then slowly hop it back to you. Watch your line carefully since a lot of the strikes happen when the Senko is falling back towards the bottom. Another thing you might want to try is a jig and pig fished pretty much the same way.

awsome thank you very much ill try that

it really is just best to leave the bedding bass alone in your golf course because you want the bass to spawn successfully so you can fish the golf course for a good long while but, if you just cant help yourself i would use a brush hog texas rigged or a matlures blue gill swim bait. just slowly drag it along the nest to make it look like it is stealing eggs.

you cant go wrong with a good old powerbait worm.  where i fish four inch blue fleck swimtails worm the best but you have to fish them really slow if they are bedding.  i have seen them swim up to it like they are going to hit it many times and then swim off like they are uninterested but they always seem to come back and bite if you leave it there long enough. really pay attention because they just suck it in and you hardly feel the hit if you are just resting even if get a hunch that you got a bite set the hook. also try and find clear water outside of wind curents

Wow, just read that whole thread and made me want to fish so bad haha! Ive never used plastics much to be honest until about 4 days ago, was up in michigan and caught a 3.8 and a 2.6lb smallmouth on one of the storm swim baits. Thats what hooked me on bass fishing, nothing like having them dance and jump out of the water!

Im going to bass pro right now to pick up some yamamoto's, I already use their hooks for striper fishing. After that going to check out one of the urban ponds by the house. Thanks RW, ive been missing out on the senkos!

my mistake was gamakatsu hooks that I use, but ya went and picked up some watermelon with black and pumpkin with black. Caught 3 largemouth in an hour, 2 were on the pumpkin and one was on a rapala floating jointed in tiger color. I used that because I gave my girlfriend the texas rig I felt bad she wasnt catching anything haha.

Bass Pro in vegas for some reason doesnt carry ika's at all, so need to order some of those. But the senkos were amazing, and used RW's exact advice. Takes some serious patience but well worth it! Had a fish on first cast in with the slow bump method.

welcome to the forums

for finicky fish, senkos are always a dynamite choice. but i would strongly suggest a crawdad colored crankbait. or, depending on the depth of the water, a standard orange flake brad's wiggler. i've caught some great fish on those. or try to carolina rig some minnows or crawdads or even lizards and work them REAL slow over the nest. hope this helps.

A little late her on the post but i have caught a bunch of fish on golf course in Simi Valley. Go at night, use a black 8' Zipper, drop shot....KILLED'EM
