Windy??

Zach_BassFisherman · 05-14-06, 12:49 AM

What is the best to use when it is windy??

Lee Boy · 05-14-06, 01:19 AM

spiner baits, cranks

nb1226 · 05-14-06, 09:18 AM

I like to use cranks on windward shores

rrw4258 · 05-14-06, 08:17 PM

def. a spinnerbait or Rat-L-Trap, but for me the confidence is in a spinnerbait!

a double willow crome plated spinnerbait blades, white skirt 3/8 to 1/2

Curado · 05-14-06, 08:48 PM

spinnerbait

bassintom · 05-14-06, 09:46 PM

depends on water temp..you should know that.your signature says you're the best basser in S.W.missouri.

kickinbass54 · 05-14-06, 10:19 PM

definitly a spinner bait!!! I like white with a silver and gold willow blade. I try to run it on top and give it some jerks so it triggers the bass to look at it.

Rebbasser · 05-14-06, 11:12 PM

Another vote for spinnerbait or crankbait. Tough to beat a chrome/blue back trap.

bassguy2004 · 05-14-06, 11:13 PM

Ditto, Reb.

bassintom · 05-15-06, 11:35 AM

depending on water temps you could also throw a topwater prop bait or buzzbait.

JB · 05-15-06, 11:37 AM

tom,
he's trying to legally have his siggie changed to
"best angler in the universe" ..patent [pending of course]

bassintom · 05-15-06, 11:45 AM

i don't even have the nerve to use"best angler on my block"...lmao

dodgeguy · 05-15-06, 12:21 PM

somebody is getting their nuggets busted!!!

a white double willow gold silver blade 1/2 oz.spinnerbait or a 1/2 oz shad pattern ratlin rapala.

BassAddict · 05-15-06, 12:22 PM

Spinnerbait vote here too.

Rodman_Rob · 05-15-06, 02:40 PM

I vote to go to the non-windy shore and throw flukes.

Rebbasser · 05-15-06, 07:29 PM

RR, that's probably the smart move

!

jordan41 · 05-15-06, 07:32 PM

yep i would try to get in trees and struture or a calmer area of the body of water then use a plastic

bassguy2004 · 05-15-06, 08:35 PM

Why limit yourself to the universe, how about "best fisherman on the other side of the worm hole".

wareagle_fb5308 · 05-16-06, 03:35 PM

when its windy i throw a white spinnerbait to the shore that the wind is blowin to.

Captmikestarrett · 05-16-06, 03:42 PM

Wow I see from the responses that no one would do what I do. I would throw a 3 foot long carolina rig and a 1 once weight. Straight shank 4/0 hook and a sweet Zoom fire tail lizard.

I guess I do things different.

Capt Mike

Captmikestarrett · 05-16-06, 03:44 PM

Oh I would use a 7 foot spinning rod.. Braided fifty power pro too.

Capt Mike

Rebbasser · 05-16-06, 08:23 PM

Interesting idea, Mike-never would have thought of that. I'll tuck that one away for future reference. Thanks!

Mostly I use a 1/2 oz weight LOL. And of course sometimes I go with a BLACK LIZARD, or a 4" worm/fluke/crankbait/craw, depending on the fish's mood

I also prefer spinning on my c-rig pole

I don't throw a spinnerbait long, either they want it or they don't

If they aren't hitting it hard and quick I switch up quickly. I don't beat cranks to death either.

Lizards

Herdbull · 05-17-06, 12:10 PM

Believe it or not, I throw a Senko and let it naturally drift through the weeds or whatever else. I've caught many fish like this even in Canada where it's always windy. Other choices = 1/4oz. J&P, crankbaits.
