kdiaz+Followstruggling to catch bass? try thisIf you're having no luck with bass, try hitting the water at dawn or dusk. I look for surface action in the evening and throw a frog or popper when they’re chasing bugs. My go-to is a roadrunner jighead or dark rubber worm—color depends on clarity. And always fish against the wind. That’s where the bait gets pushed. What’s your go-to setup when the bite’s tough? #fishing #bassfishing #fishingtips154Share
fisherchad+FollowWhy spinnerbaits still crush itNext to frogging, spinnerbaits are my absolute favorite way to fish. They're incredibly versatile - I've caught bass in muddy water, clear water, shallow, deep, winter, summer... you name it! Quick setup guide: 1️⃣ Weight selection - Match depth + retrieve speed (1/2oz is perfect middle ground) 2️⃣ Blade combo - Colorado/willow tandem works 90% of the time 3️⃣ Color matching - Silver for clear water, gold for stained/tannic water 4️⃣ Add trailer - Split-tail grub gives extra action without changing fall rate Key fishing tips: - Fish around cover (docks, stumps, laydowns) - Keep steady retrieve to maintain hook-up position - "Kill" the bait right after clearing cover - creates irregular action that triggers strikes - Pump rod tip occasionally for fleeing baitfish look The beauty of spinnerbaits? They're moving baits that cover water fast while staying relatively weedless. Perfect for finding active fish! #fishing #spinnerbait #bassfishing #fishingtips103Share
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 #fishingtips00Share
