pretty much everything works for bass, they're a trash fish anyways, fish for something else

Trash fish is your opinion. They put up a fun fight.

>>1095699
Trash for eating, sure, but fun to catch as sport fish.

Depends HIGHLY on:

>Your location
>Particular lake
>Do you have a boat?
>Time of year
>Your budget

Largemouth under 14" are pretty tasty beer battered and deep fried.

6" Black rubber worm with white stripe, comes rigged w. hooks.
Fish it slow and with little or no weight along edges of weeds and lilipads in less than 6' of water at dusk and dawn.

Let it sink, retrieve slowly so it rises about halfway to the surface, let it sink. Repeat. If you see fish moving, let it rest, twitch it, and reel it in fast about 4'. And so on and so forth.

Bass fishing is surprisingly difficult if you don't have a boat, because you're usually casting towards as much structure as you can find, and if you're shore-bound you can usually only cast to a few places within an average trip to the lake.

I think bank fisherman should focus more on catfish and carp. They are also bigger and better eating fish so I see no reason to target bass except preference, unless you have a boat.

>tfw my state has an 18" limit for bass, can't keep anything shorter than that
Also, a 14" largemouth will weigh what, like 7/8ths of a pound?

regional tastes are pretty interesting

what kind of bass?

>>1095650
great for small mouth and large mouth when water temps are right, for large poppers and jitterbugs work morning and evening and in shade when water temps are up. when the waters warm anything that dives can work if you can make it look wounded.

they hardly put up a fight and are like reeling in a log compared to pike and musky, i've never landed a gar pike. though small mouth fight better than large mouth, never caught a striped bass before, they aren't in my area.

having a boat in my area only helps when fishing big lakes like lake champlain when its mid summer and in the middle of the day when they go deep for cooler water. anything you can catch from a boat you can catch standing on shore.

not what OP asked for but ill add anyways

pike and musky - anything orange, what works best is the red pelvic fins of a yellow perch with a chunk of belly stuck on a hook and used as a lure.

catfish and bullhead - cheese balls, planters used to make the best ones, other brands still work better than chicken liver tied up in some nylons.

crappy and rock bass - marabou jigs at dusk right on the shore line, its easier than ice fishing.

These are a meme. They work great but they break after one fish and are too brittle you can get the same effect from Bass pro shops stick-Os at a fraction of the cost and they'll last longer and are better quality in my opinion

They also taste good smoked.
