what are the best lures to use in the morning and good techniques. im headin out in the morning and i want to land some fish, what should my gameplan be?

Topwater is a good way to go in the morning.

Hey bass_finder,

Welcome to the boards!

Early morning, I like to go with search baits. Top waters being the first this time of year. If the top water bite isn't on, I'll go with a spinnerbait or a lipless crankbait. Hope this helps!

In the morning I like to throw topwaters such as poppers and buzzbaits in flats, because in morning is when those fish will come up there to feed, and a topwater is a good way to cover alot of water fast.

TOPWATER for sure.  Pop-R or Spooks.  I would get it as close to any structure that you could find.  Trees, stumps etc.  Don't be in a rush on the retrieve and be erratic with it.  When that bite goes away I always grab the worm/plastics and keep on doing the slow retrieve.  With the temps in the upper 80's around here now you have to get out there early too.  I am headed out in the morning myself and you can bet that I will have that Pop-R in my hand first thing.  Go Gettem.

ok, thanks for the great advice. i've grew a love for bass fishin in the past year and a half, and i love to fish, but i dont know a lot of tips and facts, and you guys are great. i will probably head out with a pop-r and a zara spook in the morning. thanks again.

Since bass are typically most aggressive mornings in late spring/early summer, feeding heaviest shallow before moving out to pester deep water shad schools, it's a safe bet to focus on faster moving aggressive baits like energetic topwaters, buzzbaits, super shallow waked spinnerbaits, and darting escaping crankbaits that appeal to bass with their metabolism at its peak for the day. As water temps increase that suffers and they become more lethargic, but not in the cool of the mornings. Once the cool is gone they go deeper or farther into the thickest cover and will respond to easy meals like slow moving worms.

Believe it or not, I don't get alot of topwater bite in the mornings.  Sometimes but certainly not often.

Slow moving larger baits.  Start shallow,move deeper.

It's 1:03am here, I'll be on the water in an hour.  I'll let you know what worked for today when I get in.

Very Jiggy morning.  Caught about a dozen and then the sun cameup and shut down the bite.  Lost 1 hog on a senko but the 1/8oz jig reigned supreme.

I start off with topwaters,but even early morning bassin' has gotten tough down here in South MS .Yesterday morning at 5:30 AM the water temp was 86 degrees.

i like to use buzzbaits in the mornings.  I can normally catch a lot doing this till it gets around 8 or 9, then i start c-riggin the deeper water.
