This is really one of the very best videos i have seen. I live in South Africa and often struggle to choose the bait to start with from the bank. Makes a lot of sense what you explained here. Thanks a lot.
When I started thinking about the previous days, like you mentioned, that is when things started to really fall into place for me. It’s so easy to forget the past. Such an excellent tip you talked about!
One of the biggest things I learned is that bass are temperamental. They don't like change at all. I try to use that each time I head out to the water.
When I get that way (which is more often than I like), I try to stop and take a minute. Then I go back to basics and I find that really helps quite a bit.
Wacky rig is pretty hard to ignore. I'll often throw a moving or topwater bait and find an area, if I get a fish or a short strike then I know I'm in the wacky zone :p
I always over think my bait choices and end up just sitting on my boat with a blank stare while I've got all my bait boxes opened and a big mess everywhere. I definitely need to simplify things.
I find that starting simple and going from there is the best method. I try to keep things easy on myself otherwise everything can get complicated if you let it.
thank you Mr Brow. good summary...just one lingering question. you mention several times about changing bait based on what the fish are now feeding on. How does one determine their diet for the day?
There are several ways that I use, but you can use whatever works best for you: Firstly, I know the lakes I fish very well so I know what the bass are generally feeding on at any given time of the year. Secondly, I break the water column down into its three basic parts. If I see bass busting on the surface, or if they're higher in the water column, then I'll use a shad or small bait fish pattern. If the bass are deeper, but not necessarily on bottom, I'll use a sunfish or similar type of presentation. And lastly, if the bass are near the bottom, I'm pretty sure the bass the bass might prefer a craw presentation or a worm. I hope that helps.
I'm still looking for a lure named twosticks. I asked an old-time tournament fisherman what lure worked better better than dynamite during the winter, and he replied twosticks. I've never seen one of those lures. Paddletails work around here for now, though. 😊 Thanks LB
Do you have a hard time picking the right bait?
Nope. I pick the perfect lure every time. The fish, however, are constantly struggling to realize that they are attracted to the wrong ones. 😁👍🇺🇸
I don't do tourneys for a reason, pick whatever seems fun, switch only if it doesn't get bit :p

Thanks! I'm glad I could help.

Very good video LB. Thanks for breaking it down step by step. Thanks for the info and making it simple!!
It's so easy to get frustrated when picking lures. Thanks for making things simple!
I'm happy you liked it!
I usually start with a wacky or a ned rig but if those don't work, I just start changing lures until something works. These tips will really help!

It's very easy to let all the thousands of different lure choices overwhelm you!

Because you get more of a bang with two sticks than just one!
I'll usually start with a jig, crankbait, ned rig, and a jerk bait tied on. Go from there. 👍🇺🇸
Those are some great choices!
Enjoyed the Video! Keep it simple is the way to go.
Exactly! Simple is always easier!
You always catching all them fish. I reckon you might know a couple things about picking lures.
I just try to simplify it as much as possible.
Not hard for me…
Worm, chatter bait, frog
😂
Keeping things simple is a great way to do it!
Bottom, middle, and top, seems like a great setup :)
