Yet More Questions for Clarity

I sit here enjoying a Sam Adams, and thinking about fishing, and a few more questions have arisen in my mind.

[ol]- I’ve heard that bass fishing is best at dusk and dawn. Which is better? Do the fish bite more in the morning than the evening? Or is it pretty much even?- What are some good topwater lures? I need to expand my repertoire. Trick worm shaky heads are my go-to rig, but I don’t always get good activity on them, and when they stop getting hit, I need to find something else the bass want.- What about swim senkos? I haven’t have luck with normal senkos in the river, so what about their cohorts?- Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits…Some people swear by them, I’ve never gotten anything but one little catfish on them. Any secrets, hints, tips, something that can be passed on so that I may use these effectively?[/ol]And finally, thank you BFT, for not having Vimax Male Enhancement ads all over your pages. Every page I visit, from the weather to the dictionary or thesaurus, has wide eyed women with text like “want to shock girls? surprise her with a bigger penis!”…it’s getting SO old! :laughing:

if your going to fish the rivers you need to get some rapalas..i prefer the floating shallow runners in black and silver..if you slow retrive and twitch them they are a good topwatter bait..or you can reel then jerk em.. like a stick bait..the shad rap is a good deep diving crank also..there a little exspensive..but well worth it..you wont lose em very often..heres a pic of the floating rapalas..like i said reel em slow and twitch them..looks just like a wounded minnow on the surface..they cant resist it.

ive found that early morning topwatter action is better..from 11 pm to mornings pretty good to just use a noisy topwater..

I have about 8 rapalas, never caught anything on em. Got maybe one hit, 4 months ago.

well theyve caught aloy of fish on the rivers for me..just trying to help..they have tip on how to use each kinds..just look up rapala lures..

I know you were trying to help, my sincerest apologies if I came off as rude and unappreciative, I promise it was not my intention.

I bought a shad rap recently, because I’ve heard they’re one of the best rapalas. There’s tons of bluegills in the river, so I got a bluegill pattern. But nothing on it. I don’t have an original floater, but I have been wanting to get one and give it a try. I’m still trying to find other lures that the little buggers will bite. But when I’m having a good deal of success on one color worm, it’s hard to try other things.

i didnt mean to sound offended..im not..just trying to explain that every lure has a time and place and a way to use it most effectively..a shad rap is a deep running crank therefore deeper watter and drop offs is were its most effective…the origional floating minnow does best imitating a dying minnow on or near the surface..these understandings will help you catch more fish more often..

Yeah. I gotta get an original floater. I would probably do real well with it in the morning.

size 9 has always been my favorite..i like the black and silver..but the collors might be different were your at..
