Spring has sprung!
Weather's warming up and so are the bass.
What's your favorite lure to catch bass in the Spring?


On average, your heart beats 100,000 times a day. One day, one of those heartbeats will be your last. Then what?

A red Rat-L-Trap or Strike King red eye shad in a shad color.
If, they do not hit that, I will throw a Ned Rig.
If they do not hit that, I throw my rod/reel in the water and go home.

My favorite is a Wacky Worm Rig shallow!

I've had good luck with Smithwick gold Rogues, Super Flukes, Tx rig lizards and wacky rig Trick worms shallow. If a little deeper, I fish Carolina Rig Lizards or Brush Hogs, Chatterbaits, or traps.

I like fishing a C'rig in shallow water with grass and usually have it rigged with a Zoom Green Pumpkin / Chartreuse lizard.

Jerkbait fast, Jerkbait slower then a wacky worm with nail in head to fish it faster if those don't work then a small 3" bait for dropshot and crack a beer
