Re: Largemouth Bass
I am going to ignore your comments and try to help.
I fish the Delta a bunch. We have been wacky rigging for over ten years up here. Between just fishing for fun, tournements and guiding I have been fishing that water since the late 1970s. Here is one thing to learn of fishing Nothing really new has come along.
What I am going to throw depends on a few things:
Water temp
clarlity
wind
tide
time of year
What fish have been doing.
Time of day.
light conditions
Now wacky rigging works fairly well but is really a way for when condidtions are a bit tough, as there are better ways to catch fish when they are active.
Up here we have had some weird weather patterns so no right answer for day in and day out. One day the crank bait will kill and next it wont get hit at all.
Drop shot will work most times but this is also a thing for when fish are less active.
But as things go a day would usually start out here, with weather as it has been, like such:
1. Start with top water baits. If no wind go with quiet types. If wind is blowing go with buzz type baits or poppers, Poopers are a slower approach when there is light wind and faster baits dont get results.
2. As the light comes up change to crank type baits and pick one that gets to depth the fish are at.
3. As day goes on you will need to change to the slower worm and jig type baits.
4. Later in day you will find them again on cranks and top waters.
Now thats for spring summer and early fall. Winter dumps the top waters and limits the use of the cranks. Colder water slower baits
Thats a basic plan for a fishing day/
