Just wondering what your favorite baits are to flip or throw around boat houses for lots of bass?
Soft plastics, cranks, jigs anything.

Depends on time of year. My overall favorite is a shaky head finesse worm but certain times i crank them. Bluegill spawn ill pump a wat/red big bite yo mamma or a jig. Fall u can blade and swim jig. Just a variety of suff

I like a weighless rattlesnake or tornado around the pillings! That slow fall is hard to resist.

it seems to change each year. the snakes and tornados on a shaky head always catch quantity... but when you can hone in on what produces quality- you can win tournies. even then, that one bait will sometimes need to be adjusted throughout the day (weight, color, size, etc).

I love fishing jigs, so I always try to find some variation they will eat. i try to stay away from the smaller baits unless I am just fishing to catch fish.

The only baits I don't throw at boat docks are a C-rig and spinnerbait (that will change soon)

for numbers a shakey head is hard to beat.
for bigguns a jig is impossible to beat.

Not to hijack the thread, but what style/weight jig do you like around floating boat houses/marinas? Any trailer or color preferences?

the beavers are still hard to beat

shakey head rattlesnakes.
Drop shots
Jigs

What colors do you have the best luck with while finesse fishing? And how are the rattling jigs compared to the non-rattle jigs?

Rattlesnake or senko on an 1/8 sinker around laydowns and lilly pads

Paca craw has been my go to lately. Crankbait during the fall

Its a toss up between a rattlesnakes or mega claws when it comes to docks.

floating docks..wakebaits...colors for finesse plastics.any color as long as its watermelonseed,grn pumpkin or plum.i only use rattles on my jig if its howlin wind or muddy water.

Wacky rigged Senko
