Finally got out for the first time yesterday and put up a goose egg. Im wondering whats been working for everyone thus far? I threw plastic worms (got 2 bites), a spinnerbait, chatterbait and a jig. Just seeing if im missing anything.

I got some small LMs on rooster tails the other day, haven't had any luck on rubber worms yet though.

I've only made it out once so far, on a nice warm day. They were hitting a 1-minus crankbait, the jig, the jerkbait, and the senko.

Taken a few off of crankbaits, running shallow to 8' or so. Couple have come dragging jigs in heavy cover, and a few on soft swimbaits off of points and in slack waters. Nothing so far on spinnerbaits or worms though, and haven't even bothered with the senko can't bring myself to use it yet!!

I've caught 90% of my fish so far on this crank:

Jigs account for basically the other 10%

Ever since I started seeing Meat post those fatty pics I've been lured into taking my jigs out of the box Smile

A 1/2oz tour grade Strike King spinnerbait, Sexy Shad, got me my first bass of the year. Some other good options are jerkbaits, jigs fished deep or pitched to structure, soft plastic jerkbaits, swim jigs (they are often overlooked but are a great early spring bait) and square billed crankbaits. Like jigaboose said, The Strike King 1.5 and 2.5 are awesome square bills. These crankbaits are truly almost 100% snagproof. They are just amazing.

Oh yeah, small beaver type baits are great right now too. The 3 in Strike King rodent are perfect size.

Yamamoto 5" & 7" senkos and kreatures in watermelon w/ red and black flake. I've been pulling in 12-24 fish an outing. Work great in stained water but I've had great luck in clear water too.
