Whats the best technique to catch bass?

[Alex]

Whats the best technique to catch bass every time you hit the water?
Whats the best colors to use?
Whats the best retreive to use?
ect.

Red sticks of dynamite. Almost foolproof. Almost.

[Bassin_Dude]

NONE!!! there is no ''best'' in bass fishing. there might be a good thing to use for that situation, but what may work now, might not work in the same situation tommorrow. and you could use an electric fishing device, just throw it in, and grab the net 8)

Sorry-there ain't no such animal. That's why they call it fishing and not catching. You have to try different baits, colors, and retrieves to find what the fish want at any particular time and location.

half the fun is trying to catch one and experimenting with lures

[Alex]

Sorry but im wanting to know a technique that is most consistant!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah you guys dont have to be smart @ss about it!!!!! LOL just jokin

[Rich]

That's the problem, 40pounder-there isn't one. Â*There are a lot of variables involved. Â*For example, if the water is above 70 degrees a topwater early and late can work extremely well. Â*In the middle of winter when the water is 40 degrees or less you can throw a topwater all day and you probably won't even get a look, let alone catch a fish.

Give us some specifics where you will be fishing-water temp, muddy or clear, weeds, flooded timber, etc. and we can point you in the right direction. Â*Meantime, here is a great link for someone just getting into bass fishing:

Just know there are no "bests" when it comes to fishing-conditions change too rapidly for one thing to be consistant 100% of the time.

You may call me a smart ***, but that doesn't mean I wasnt right. Dynamite is the most consistant way. Period.

[Rich]

Yeah, but it sure messes up catch and release ;D

The water is clear. Theirs flooded timber and some brush. I'm not for sure but id say the water temp is in the 60's some where. This will be the first time i fish this lake thats why i dont know much about it. all advice is apporiated. Thanks

Instead of using the word "BEST" try using these words "Your Preferred Method" I believe in a joke, but yours didn't come off that way. If you want help, then read and ask some decent questions. I've been catching up on the posts, and half of them are what the "BEST", and of course they get the same responses THERE IS NO BEST So please impress me by reading some of the posts before you ask the question.

[Bassin_Dude]

but there is never a best or a most consisting...alll those words should be whiped from your memory while bass fishing. what works for you today, might not work for you tommorrow in the same conditions.

[redneck13]

Plastic worm.Probably more bass have been caught on the Texas-rigged plastic worm than any other.

[Mikey]

im sorry but this is way off topic but how do u insert a image srry for the incoveince
-noobie

[Bassin_Dude]

just do a search on it, use the search button on the bar that is near the top of the site....you will see search, click on it, then type in posting a picture, then dont worry about there poster, go down and change the search results to 7-365 days, and turn the little box into 100 instaed of 25. then click search, if that doesnt work, keep tryin phrases with search in them.

THERE AINT ONE

[Scott]

I have found the best technique to be plastic worms. You can fish them so many different ways.

[Bassin_Dude]

rrw, that may work for your lake......might not work in a lake across the united states...se what im tryin to say? there is no best anything, maybe there is a good bait for your lake, but it ay not work in mine. i can tell you somedays i outfish the plastic worm with a jig.

[Nick]

i have found almost everytime i go bass fishing if i dont catch anything i put a helgramite on and as soon as it hits the water i catch a bass..almost 90% of the time it works

[sumal]

ive NEVER caught anything with a helgramite... i can cathc bass on a T-rig though

[jglassguy]

40 lber,
I would go out and buy a pack of worms and hook and bullet sinkers

All the pros eventually go back to the worm

btw I saw the creme finesse worms today, hadn't seen them in years, they look like a horse hair in the water trough, 3 inch or 4-5-6, but light cream skin color,
and skinny
the hook is always bigger than the worm when fishin' that critter

[BassNva]

if you knew anything about bass fishing...you would know that the person that could answer any one of those questions would be rich beyond belief.

where do you guys come up with these questions?common sense tells you there is no best.i've been doin this for over 20 yrs and i can't even come close to answering your questions.....jeez!

[BassNva]

he didn't ask what the best bait was......technique and bait are 2 different things.he also asked for colors and retrieve and ect(whatever that is).
i think he's playing stump the bassers...i'm not playing.

[jglassguy]

everyone has baits.........
few have techniques.......
