Favorite Pattern

[Alex_Ebertowski]

I was wondering what people's favorite pattern to fish is? (other than whatever the fish want).

My favorite is a deep smallmouth bite off of a sharp drop off. Using a drop-shot, tube jig, or crank bait.

I enjoy topwater fishing the most - seeing the explosion or seeing a wake appear behind the lure never gets old!

I fish it wwwaaayyy too much but I CANNOT put it down. Frogs, spooks, Pop-R's, etc. Frogs are frustrating as the hookup percentage is not all that great.

Fishing a topwater...in deep water.

For LMB, toss-up between deep jigs and deep crankbaits. Love that thump.

For smallies, I love casting grubs - easy as can be, just crank the thing in, and all of a sudden the rod loads up... I love it.

Of course, if you'd asked me in June I'd have said swim jigs for LMB and jerkbaits for smallies. I'm pretty fickle

Cheers,

Whatever seems to be the ticket that day is my fav pattern. It used to be topwater and skipping docks, but now I like the deep weededge and a jig. I'm trying to focus on deeper water 10-15 feet this summer in lakes since I always fish shallow, but not anymore:)

October jig bite = many toads or a frog bite in the slop

[bemidjibasser]

Deep cabbage and a heavy jig or TX rig for LGM, square bill cranking shallow rocks for SMM...

[TonkaBass]

Largemouth, flipping jigs into deep weeds. Smallies, EVERYTHING!!!!

[Gordie]

The most exciting would be Frogs on pads I love watching the pads start to viberate and wiggle then the expolsion of the bass

tubes for smallies

[mainbutter]

I love it when the smaller bass are super active and crushing panfish poppers on the flyrod. That has made me addicted to chasing fish on my 4wt more than any other setup this year.

I hated a jigs a fews ago, but now I can't put them down. I'm going with jigs on the deep weedline. Next yr it will be something else

[mww24]

wacky rigged senkos. deep, shallow, docks, pad edges. I literally fish them everywhere and can't put them down a lot of days.

[ShoreGuy1984]

Pitchin soft plastics and jigs. Its so addicting.....

[RumRiverRat]

Flukes skipped under docks.

[Smallie Hunter]

drop shot when they are stacked up

[Stick in Mud]

Topwater fishing in the fall after the lily pads start to die back....Or topwater fishing on the river (up here in St Cloud) when the bug hatch is on. Doesn't happen for long, but when it does, uff da!

Hey Alex! You finally signed up! (This is Andrew by the way)

Hey man my favorite bass bite has been and always will be topwater frogs and poppers. I dont know how many touraments ive blown this year throwing that thing way way way too much. O well it was still alot of fun! I can remember to the day when I got addicted to fishihng. I was about 5 years old, I found a toad by my dads pond and i put it on a hook with my zebco and threw it in. I didnt have a clue what I was doing when about a 4lb bass exploded on that toad. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen and to this day I cant get enough of it!

Ive got to say that a close second, and a favorite new technique of mine, is fishing a deep football jig through the rocks! You feel the good stuff and, BANG!

Good luck in Class dude!

I love throwing a spinnerbait! I won't throw it if the bite is not on, but when they are smacking a spinnerbait life can't get much better in my opinion. Other than that I love throwing a spook early in the morning.

[Igor Drackenwolf]

I love the topwater bite when it's on. Aside from that, I can't get enough finesse fishing with senkos, either rigged weedless or wacky-style. There's so much technique and feel to retrieval, lure placement in the water column and structure, etc. It's really something to practice and get good at - easy to do, very tough to master, rewarding when it works.

[goblueM]

hard to pick just one, its close between deep cranks and frogs
