Senkos (like watching grass grow)

Carolina Rigs (like Jai Alai) ;D

Not a fan of watching people use live bait.

I hate fishing jigs because i'm so terrible at it but know how critical being competent with them is.

Uhhh.... has anybody ever sat you down and made you watch them use live bait ? LOL

To be totally frank, I believe you have been brainwashed into believing things about live bait fishing, which simply are not true.

Personally, I love fishing live bait..... and would do it even more, if their were not so many situations where artificial lures make it easier to catch a monster bass.

What really amuses me, are the guys (purists) who pat themselves on the back, because they only use artificial lures.....

Uhhhh.... Okay. If I could only use live bait 'OR' artificial lures, I'd choose the latter myself, as I'm sure I'd catch more giants this way.

However, I've always felt that by leaving all options open, I can maximize the odds of sticking a big one, which is the whole reason I'm out there in the first place.

Peace,

PS, Come to think about it, I guess I'm not really a fan of watching people use live bait either.... especially if they are catching fish, and all I can do is watch  ;D

Deep structure fishing.  I'm horrible at it!!!   This would include deep cranking and c-rigs.  Luckily most of the places I fish doesn't require it.

If I don't have something to cast or pitch to I feel pretty lost.  There's a small lake not far from me that the state of MO built a few years ago. It's basically a bowl sitting on top of land. No trees around it so the wind has to be less than 6-7 mph, very minimal cover, just a couple of docks.  It's 10' max depth and it has ridges run across in spots that come up to 1.5'.  I know theres nice fish in there, I have a buddy that fishes it alot and catches fish up to 8 lbs. I just can't get into the place.  It's just not as fun to me as pitchin a jig or t-rig plastic to a nice big laydown.

Senko's ..... I'd rather watch paint dry.

X INFINITY!!

Dead sticking a senko has to be the most retardedly slow and boring way to fish.  I might as well get a tub of minnows and a bobber! 

Count me in with the crank bait crowd...

Loads more success with soft plastics and live baits.

I don't catch much on crankbaits due to the lake i fish being very weedy and not very deep. But, i also don't fish them much either so what do i know.

BUT, i love a good crankbait bite. I love throwing them on a hard bottom...one second you hit a rock and the next the rock is swimming away. It catches me by surprise every time and really gets me pumped. I almost always get the small guys doing this so i throw them on a light spinning rod and it's a lot of fun.

So, why blame the lure?  Deadsticking is the technique.

For me it's fenisse fishing with light lines and tiny baits. I like power fishing something fast that you can cover a lot of water and on 50 lb. braid. The only slow technique I like is Deadsticking.

senkos for sure

i cannot get at least 5 fish on senkos but i can get 5+ fishes on worms and fineese like d.s. spilt shot

Crankbaits..terrible at them.. :'(

Carolina rigging, hate it!

There is one thing I really hate. I hate it because it shows that bass are really stupid, and not the intellectual giants of the pond we make them out to be, and thus it lessens any accolades we may heap on ourselves for catching such a non-cunning foe. It makes us stupid, too. I speak of the @#&^% buzz bait. I feel stupid every time my partner catches a bass on a buzz bait....just hate those things. That's why I only have six or seven.
