Don't get the hook caught in your ear.

Smallmouth or Largemouth??

Mainly large mouth.

Thanks for the tip Greg.

Just general tips really. I usually fish plastics and rat-l-traps, spinners ect.

I was going to mention Rat L Traps, one of the best baits out there for Bass. I've also caught Walleye, Crappie, and Channel Cat on them.

When it comes to soft plastics I like to use stuff thats not seen often...Like big lizards.

Fish cover where you can. Along banks during early season. Find docks, submerged trees etc. Fish hold on this structure to ambush baitfish as they swim by. Fish the shade lines in the water (same reason). For bass, line from 6-12 pound is what I prefer. My go to lure is a 4" senko worm in green pumpkin color rigged texas style. I also use the new Rapala Shad Rap lure with success. The easiest way to catch bass and have fun though is using the Rebel crawfish lure. Cast and retrieve, nothing more. Can catch a bunch of fish on it too. I usually tie that on for people who are new to fishing.

First... you need to get a shirt like the Nascar drivers wear.
Second ... you got to say that's a biggun after every fish

Third ...my favorite way is throwing poppers from a tin boat around lilly pads

So that's what I've been doing wrong!

Well see I was just kidding, but it does have some merit after all.

In Florida we fish in 4 to 6 foot bowls so not much I can offer here.

I do however love to start my morning, pretty much no matter where I am, with a Zoom Super Fluke in baby bass......twitch, twitch, twitch pause, twitch, twitch........

Then when that action calms down I usually go to a texas rigged soft plastic of some sort with a 1/8th the 1/2 oz. sinker.
