Whats YOUR style?

[jimbo80]

I will admit I have been more of a reader here on FM more than anything, and I noticed one thing. It seems everyone has a certain style of fishing bass. Some guys only fish slop, some love spinner baits, some only fish rivers. I like to think I am a well rounded angler for the most part. I especially like to fish structure I can't see. ( weed lines, points, and sunken islands) I think that an angler that sticks to one game plan or tactic severely handicaps themselves.But I know I lack skills fishing crankbaits especially. So whats your style?

[YUM]

I prefer to fish slop.. especially on a muddy or stained lake

[RobertELee]

I like to fish pretty much everything, but I have noticed that I do lean more towards the jig-n-pig with crankbaits/spinnerbaits a close second and worms are not too far off. I'm trying to get better at the deeper structure but it is hard mainly because I can't see it and it feels too much like walleye fishing

[EBass]

Shallow water - cuz I can't swim.

[Central Bassman]

I like fishing shallow water but Now im starting to get out away from the banks and im loving it. I like the challange and i think ones you become good at fishing deep...fishing shallow is easy!!!

[Bushwacker]

I am definitely a slop fisherman at heart. I love fishing the thickest stuff I can find with eiter a jig, frog, or toad. I need to work on my deeper structure fishing, but I just have so much more fun in the shallow thick stuff.

[tearin' lips]

No particular style. I do what it takes to catch fish. I also like to fish a variety of water was well(clear/stained lakes and rivers). I like to be a versatile fisherman.(or I think so at least)

i have two fishing moods or modes. if i am impatient, i like to bounce a spinnerbait off of structure.(sticks, reeds, or rocks) but if the time is right(and it usually is), i throw frogs in the slop. i do recognize that i need to expand my comfort zone and throw some other types of lures, but slop is so fun. and ever since i was a kid, i liked frogs perhaps that is why i am able to work them so well

I am a slop fisherman at heart. My go-to lures are spinnerbaits and scumfrogs. Love the challenge of getting a topwater strike, and then trying to get them out of the thickest slop you can find.

[Slyster]

I am REALLY into finesse fishing weedlines and bars.. senkos/comidas/tubes etc...

Actually I really need to experiment a lot more... I did start having some real fun with topwater baits for the first time last fall.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

I mostly fish lakes and rarely fish bass in rivers. I love fishing shallow cover like lots of bass guys. Most often in the form of docks and overhangs. I fish them slow with jigs and plastics not just zipping through them with spinners or cranks. Now as I become a better angler I find myself venturing away from the banks investigating offshore structure. In the past year deep cranking has become a favorite technique and Im hoping to improve on it this year as well as jigworm and dropshot.

I saw this question either late last night or early this morning, and have given it thought much of the day... I almost wish I had a style, yet I am not sure I do? I am prety darn good at fishing a lot, but maybe not great at fishing anything... If I am fishing a tournament and flipping slop is on... I feel confident in cashing a check... I like throwing cranks.. think I am above average at fishing docks... Love to fish deep, but again, do not specialize in anthing 1 thing.

I do know this.. the one thing I stink at... Its rivers!... I am not sure I have ever fished a river and placed anywhere near the money! No confidence! I do well on the Upper Croix, but not so well on the sippi down south! peeeeeeUUUUUU I stink!

[Superduty]

My style is to catch a big limit on a jig and weigh 'em in last!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Ive fished against SuperDuty, and he doesnt lie.. if the jig bite is on.. check is in hand!

[st.crioxfishin]

I am trying to become more versatile with every new season. I feel like I know a lot about fishing for bass, but still being young, I realize there is sooo much more to gain. The information and opportunities to improve are endless. I feel that I am pretty versatile, but my main strength would be fishing a jig in shallow cover. This is a great question! I'm having a hard time defining "my style"

[Stratosman]

I like others have no specific style. My style for the day is decided by the body of water and most importantly the fish....I do have a style however that I use to hone in on a bite. I usually start shallow with docks and slop and work my way out to the weedline using all the typical methods. Find whats working and go from there.

I enjoy fishing all different methods, however I absolutely love an overcast breezy day when the weedbed bass move up the water column and hammer spinnerbaits!

[Fever]

I too don't really think I have a style but working shallow cover out towards weed lines, drops and deeper stucture makes alot of sense. I think I have a tendancy to use a t -rigged worm, comidas, shallow cranks, frogs, and buzzbaits the most often in and around shallow cover & slop. I am going to make a point of getting better at a few deeper water tactics this season. I'll be out walleye fishing this weekend but I'll be thinking about bass fishing.... Is that bad? I feel guilty.

[Duffman]

Style? Oh yea, I've got some style for ya.

[Central Bassman]

LOL nice Duffman
