Until this year I would only use worms but then all of a sudden I started throwing jigs and can't stop. A nice top water explosion is awesome though. Is live bait even legal?? ;D

I love it all,But I'm very partial to Crankin'....I love Lipless.over grass beds and boulders.. and shallow sguare bills over submerged trees the best!...Man just talkin about it makes me start to SHAKE!!! :D ;D..hehe...BASS ON!!!!!!

At the moment my setups are limited, so I can only fish a few baits. I voted for spinnerbaiting this time.

    There's nothing better than a topwater bite.

   I love any kind of bass fishin', but topwater is "tops". LOL. Seriously, I love topwater and am versital at it. I can usually get some bites, even in bluebird skies. I actually just tied my pb on smallmouth with a Heddon torpedo, and my pb Largemouth, as well as my second best, have come on topwater. Give me a buzzbait, Thunder Dawg, or Sub Wart and I'll catch 'em!!!!!!!!!!

I voted flippin' & pitchin'. When a big one hits that short line you know it. Getting close up is also why I like bowhunting. Worming is probably how I get 80% of my catch though.

Topwaterin'

Wormin but to be more specific, T-Rigging. Love trying different plastic baits with weight combinations. IMHO the most varying technique for all conditions. Can be fished top, middle and bottom.

I was torn between topwater and jiggin. Finally chose jiggin, just because I have caught more bass with jigs down deep than with topwaters this year.

I figures I would see more flipping and pitching votes. My Votes goes for the blade.  ;D

flipping and pitching

Cranking Lipped baits or Blades, then Flip-pin & Pitch-in of Course. Top Water Bites of the New Soft Swim-Baits along them Lilly pads or grassy  ledges.Drop Shot is coming to be another Favourite, dangling a Finns or pencil worm or Swim Bait on a 1/2ounce DSRig.

I throw poppers more now than ever.

I can't say It's poppers or nuthin, but I have learned that by varying the presentation you can attract topwater strikes when the "textbooks" say you shouldn't throw em.

Topwater, can't beat that explosion

Worming all day for me.  I caught all of my LMB on worming.

worms for me also, really the only bait i catch anything on. i am working on that though!

chunking and winding, keeps the day moving, doesn't always catch fish, so you have to have 5 or 6 different baits on deck.

Cranking and spinnerbaiting equals about ninety percent of my fishing. I also had alot of fun with soft swimbaits this Spring. If I'm not chucking and winding, I'm not fishing.

topwater....... for me, done deal!!!

i catch many more, on almost all other tech's.....

but topwater is my favorite,

you just cant beat the heart pounding explosions :D

Being a Type A, I love crankbaits.  

I don't live bait fish for bass but I have no preference for how I catch my fish.  

I am with Catt on this-deep water structure-usually with a jig or C-rig. I know many use a deep crank in this spot, but I just don't like cranking much.

Finding off-shore structure and fish, and then getting them to bite is the best for me.
