My #1 bait last year, the tube has produced only about a half a dozen bass this year for me.  Hopefully ill catch some on tubes this weekend on Erie.

Me and you both man.  Tube hasn't been working that great for me this year but I am going up to Erie this Saturday for a week to see if those smaillies want them.

I hope they do.

At different times of the year bass will hit some lures but not others. Under certain conditions a bass will hit one lure and not another one. However there are certain lures which I feel should work at the times I throw them that I cant get anything on.

I have only caught two bass on topwater lures this whole year. I have been throwing them in the evening and morning when there is no wind and the bass just dont want them. I have no idea why. I mean this time of year should be the time they work well....

Are you asking about fishing or body parts?

We'll just stick with the fishing  ;D

Body parts is for another forum lol

The worst lure I have used so far this year is deep diving crank baits!!!! I don't know if I just don't know how to use them but I can not get a hit off of them! If someone knows alot about these lures could you please let me know?

I se KVD throwing his "Sexy Shad" and I just cannot get it to work for me please pm me if you can help me!!!

tubes, Rattle Traps, and amazingly senkos :'(

7" Berkley black power worm.  I used to be able to call my shots with this lure texas rigged a few years ago.  One summer that was the hottest lure I'd ever seen.  Now and for the last 4 years or so I haven't been able to even get a nibble on this lure.  

What's even more maddening is the guy who first got me to fish this lure has caught numerous keeper bass on them and even already this year he's caught one on it right out of the back of my boat with both of us fishing the same lure.  I got nothing on it.  Still do not know why either.  He just swears that is the only worm he needs, and at one time I would have agreed.  

Oh well, other lures have started to kick in for me this year that I used to never catch fish on, like crankbaits.  I've had a lot of luck on those this year.  

My brother and I would just killem with 3 inch curl tail grubs. But for some reason the last 3 years have been VERY slow for grubs.

Worms, diving crankbaits, buzz baits, poppers.

Senkos, topwater cranks, and frogs on topwater are hot for me this season.
