What kind of basser do you consider yourself?

I consider myself a junk fisherman because I dont stay with the same bait and will throw everything I got at them till I got a pattern that will bring in the numbers and size.

Fast and methodical.  Mostly soft plastics.  I use soft plastics as search baits and fish them faster than most.

I think of myself as an "area fisherman". I like to find areas that I believe hold concentrations of fish and work the different patterns within that area.

Example...upper end of my home reservoir. Within the confines of this area I will fish the flats, channel ledges and high percentage shoreline cover. If I find fish at a particular spot on a channel ledge I don't run all over the lake looking for channel ledges. I stay in my area(upper end). I work the spot as best as I can and I lay off it for a little while. I'll most likely continue working on down the ledge to find other prime spots but I may head over to the big flats to try and pick off a couple fish or hit some shoreline. I will absolutely return to the channel ledge that yielded fish earlier and probably several times and I'll comb it with several lures from several angles.

Fall will be here soon and I'll be following the bait around in the creeks. Whatever section of creek the bait are using on a particular day will be my "area" and I'll fish it the same way.

Trophy bass angler. Whatever it takes, I just do it.

Peace,

Fish

(when I am bass fishing anyway :-) Otherwise trophy sized fish, of what ever other species I happen to be casting at !

I'm a "smiler"   :)

As long as there's a smile, there is success.  At least in my little world.

I am a learning fisherman. But I love to pick structure apart.

a bass fisher that won't let weather, lack of tackle and lack of lakes stop him.

I really like this answer! although i would consider myself more of a stubborn fisherman who will ALWAYS feel that im lacking tackle.

I'm a junk fisherman, I think anyway. I was almost strictly a wormer for decades, but am more adaptable now, trying all classes of lures as needed. I've stopped being too particular, like predicting what lures I'll need tomorrow, pre-tying 7 rods the night before. I end up replacing them all right away. I strongly believe in wetting SOMETHING immediately and continually, never letting the line dry out while in a boat unless crossing the lake. While doing that ideas come in suggesting a better bait choice for whatever conditions I am looking at. I might end up with a gallon sized pile of failed lure choices, but all those led me to better choices.

I am a junker.

I'm a power fisherman. Kinda like KVD but a little lacking in skills and toys, compared to him!!!! LOL!

I am a student fisherman.I am constantly trying to learn something new!

Pathetic & Wannabe comes to mind  ;D ;D Seriously, I would say a little of this and a little of that. Sort of a observant Hodge Podge fisherman. I can do the power fishing thing and wear them out on Cranks, spinners and buzzers. I can also slow down and catch them on worms and plastics.

The main thing is to enjoy the time God has given me to enjoy his outdoors, friends and family. I like to think I am the kind of guy who stops and smells the roses in life. I enjoy my surroundings at all times when I am out fishing.

I will pretty much throw anything at this point. I am willing to try anything ya give me. So I guess I consider myself a Junk Angler.

Im a grateful bass man Im grateful for evry day i get to fish 8-)

I would consider myself a tactical angler rather than a junk fishermen.  I might throw a variety of different lures w/ different presentations, but there is method to my madness.  I always try to shoot for the precision cast w/ the proper lure and presentation for where I am fishing.  'Junk' sounds sloppy, 'tactical' makes it sound as if you know exactly what you are doing...........don't ruin my moment.  ::)

I am a versatility angler.  I will anchor the boat at spots where I get multiple areas with different kinds of structure/cover, and i'll have one pole with a small swivel for spinners and cranks, and one with a slip sinker and hook for the soft plastics, allowing me to then become the biggest junk fisherman in the world.

My tackle box looks like the trail a twister leaves behind in the sooner state after every trip.

I am a bank/dock beater.  I am in a boat but just am not good at catching fish deep.  But if the fish are on the shore or by something I see i can do a good job.  

Sight and Finesse fisherman I like to throw wacky worms and small plastics as limit baits but they sometimes catch a monster

I would say Junk it's like being a mixed martial artist use what works and toss the rest to the side.
