Best Bass Baits This Time of the Year?

Rat-l-trap or red eye shad

Spinnerbait

not much of a bass fisherman but everyone up here is throwing jerkbaits and the rig.

caught a 6#er on a lizard yesterday in my pond

been catching 2#ers all year so this was a surprise.

yea i have been using a real short carolina rig and it works better then a texas or a long carolina. like 5-8 in.

Hey alx have u been back to Indian creek. What's it lookin like??

Not in a while. Will start soon though. It's almost time for my deep swim bait pattern.

This slow rolled/yo yo over deep grass beds. Rip it thru the grass some. And use the small size.

Based on the past few years of moving around:

In Louisiana I fish a beetle spin in the larger size, typically a black and yellow with gold spinner. I mainly fish back in the brackish marshes around either Slidell or Irish Bayou. This is my favorite thing to throw this time of year. I love working areas where bayous intersect with duck ponds.

In Arkansas I liked to work a smaller sized jig in a brown / black color with a rubber crawfish trailer or black sweet beaver.

Here in Florida where I live now I keep at least one rod rigged up with a white fluke tied on year round.
