Default Alright, you've only got an hour and 15 minutes to answer this

Going to take the wife out after work to once again attempt my hand at getting her first Bass ever.

Conditions: Water Temp 78
Water: River System
Post Spawn

What is a for sure fire way of getting her a Bass this evening? I'm thinking about finding a Creek that runs into the River and fish the mouth of it with Carolina Rigs.

Just rig her up and tell her to cast, count, drag and pause, drag and pause...

What ya think?

Thats a good plan. Or try a spinnerbait, just chunk it and wind it in.

Weightless Senko, either wacky or Texas-rigged.

I'll try the Senko again as well, but on Saturday I tried it and she got bored with it pretty quick. I LOVE Senko fishing though.

Have her alternate between weightless Senko and Spinnerbaits. If she got bored with Senkos, she'll lose her mind with C-rigs.

At sunset tie her on a topwater (popper, buzz-bait, etc...) If she catches a fish she will be hooked for life. I tell my daughter to make a game out of it, pretend the bait is a string with a ball on the end, and the bass is the "cat". Just twitch it, and entice the kitty to pounce on the ball . Works for the Women in my life, Good luck.

Just got the wife a kayak, now she likes being on the water. Next step: get her to like fishing. Thanks for the hint!
