fisherchad+FollowMy #1 bass lure recommendation for newbiesHad someone ask about good bass lures yesterday. Honestly? Start with this simple setup: What you need: - Circle hooks or wacky rig hooks - 5" Yamamoto Senkos - Optional bullet sinker How to rig: Hook straight through the middle so both ends droop down The technique: Cast over weeds, let it sink, then slowly drag up with rod tip and repeat. Drives bass absolutely crazy! Colors: Green pumpkin or watermelon with red flake for clear water, black/blue for stained water Works like magic mimicking worms or leeches. What's your go-to bass setup? #fishing #BassFishing #FishingTips #WackyRig #WeekendAngler142Share

fisherchad+FollowHow I crush bass on lakes with no depth mapJust got back from Lake St. Clair and man, what a game-changer! Used to be terrified of these flat, grassy lakes with zero structure showing on my maps. But I've figured out the secret sauce: ✅ Hunt for grass lines & boulders - Bass love to suspend around ANY structure, even if it's just a rock pile or vegetation edge ✅ Follow the baitfish - No contours means bass roam deep water chasing schools of bait. Find the bait balls, find the bass! ✅ Target isolated hard spots - Shell beds and rock piles away from everything else are absolute gold mines ✅ Work the water column - These fish don't hug bottom like normal. They're floating, so fish at multiple depths My go-to setup: jighead minnow and jerkbait for the roamers, Texas rig for thick grass. Electronics help but you can feel structure changes with a Carolina rig too. Who else has conquered these intimidating flat water fisheries?

kdiaz+FollowScents that actually helped me catch more bassUsed to think scented lures were just marketing hype until I started testing them seriously. After trying 20+ different scents across multiple fisheries, I'm now a complete believer - especially in tough conditions. 1️⃣ Berkley MaxScent – My go-to for smallmouths in murky water. Stays on longer and gets bites when visibility is low. 2️⃣ Nories Aging Bass Liquid – Works well in clear, cold water. I soak my plastics for days and it makes a difference. 3️⃣ Berkley Gulp – Leaves a strong trail. Perfect for current-heavy spots or tough bites. 4️⃣ Bait Fuel – Subtle but deadly. Great in pressured lakes or when fish are just "off." Plus, it doesn’t stain gear. 5️⃣ Bang Garlic Spray – Ideal for largemouths in the South. Garlic seems to fire them up in muddy conditions. Scents won’t save a bad bait choice, but they will get you bonus bites when conditions are tough. #fishing #scentedlures #bassfishing #fishingtips60Share

kdiaz+FollowDad's Secret to Landing Big Fish Every TimeNothing beats the way my dad taught me to fish—simple and effective. If you’re just starting out or want to go back to basics, here’s what I recommend: 1️⃣ Bait: Use Canadian nightcrawlers (green ones if you can find them). Thread 'em Texas-rig style with no weight. 2️⃣ Location: Cast near grass, docks, or low branches. Let it sink naturally. 3️⃣ Setup: Loose drag, rod holder if you got one, and keep an eye on the line—when it tightens and moves, you're in for a ride. If you're feeling adventurous, a silver/red topwater popper is my go-to lure. The splash and strike? Unreal. What’s your favorite old school tip that still delivers? #fishing #FishingTips #BassFishing464Share
kdiaz+Followtexas-rigged flukes are my go-to lureBeen throwing the weightless Texas-rigged Super Fluke for years—it’s hands-down one of my favorite ways to fish. Watching that strike just under the surface is such a thrill. One trip on the Roanoke River, we were pulling in stripers almost every cast. For stained water, I always reach for a bubblegum Zoom Trick Worm—rigged the same way. That color just works. Anyone else a fan of flukes or trick worms?
