ddjp Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Salted tubes in a black silver with white fleck or gold black with white fleck .....killer when dragged on the bottom and twitched and jerked.....can't beat em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rockfish Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 To sum it all up would be the Blue Fox (Rapala) Vibrax spinners, X-raps and Little cleo spoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddjp Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 To sum it all up and the easiest to use would be the Blue Fox (Rapala) Vibrax spinners, Little cleo spoons and white or pearl Twisters on a jighead. Rockfish I have read your posts and seen some of your pics.......good stuff!.....I too like white twister tails with a beetle spin for extra flash.......ddjp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rockfish Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I had edited that post cuz I have had more luck on the X-raps in the Spring. I use the twisters more in summer when there is alot more weed growth around. The question of favourite lures has been a topic on here a few times and it's probably a hard question for alot and really depends what u are fishing for and the time of year.

Flywire Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Last summer I had excellent luck on white and chartreuse Spinnerbaits a crawdad Fat Rap and a Chart. Perch Big O for both pike and bass from shore but from the boat in high current areas I usually drift a Green dotted Silver Kwikfish with half a dew worm which usually gets me a couple bass and and on somedays giant sheephead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEREMY Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 my fav for bass would have to be a four inch yum dinger they just love them.I will post some pics when bass opens and show you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Spinnerbaits and ugli bucktail harnesses are my two favourites. Both tipped with plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Kovacs Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 top water lures for bass (mostly because of the drama that goes with them), including jitterbug, torpedo and even a larger zara spook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfish Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hrmmm tough question, for pike gotta be Husky Jerks or newly found fav Silver creek jerk baits, for bass, tubes, and the 4 inch power bait smelt (drop shot) and fat raps (crawdad). For anything else i like a big ol finesse minnow. And when none of that works then u have the reliable minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several different crankbaits in chart/green.... for walleye 2.25" fin-s minnows..... for troutin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BoSmith Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 If the fish are co-operating..pike or bass.. love the top water. Jitter bugs, wood chopers, spooks. all fun. From there, any jerk baits hard or soft are a lot of fun. Then there is the float fishing and fly fishing which I enjoy doing more than bait casting... but thats for a different application all together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddjp Posted May 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Lots of great choices!.....I cannot believe how far the imitation baits have come over the past few years....when fished properly....the fish that are being targeted haven't got a chance!.....ddjp.
