How To Rig a Rubber Shad For Striped Bass Fishing



bass lures freshwater
What’s the best lure for freshwater bass in Florida, this time of year, that’s easy for a beginner to learn?


I’ve only fished with live bait and don’t know how to work the different lures but would like the option to use one now and then, if I knew how and which had the best chance of a bite. The one’s I’ve tried in my friend’s lake have come back covered in weed muck on every cast, so maybe it’s not a good place for success with those??? Also, if it’s a plastic worm, how do I use it, and what color is best at this time of year? Last question, is there one I can just cast and retrieve steadily – without pausing to let it fall or retrieving so slowly it collects muck instead of bites? Can anyone refer me to a good site for learning to fish with artificial baits, for bass or bream, especially in smaller Florida lakes and around weeds in shallow water?

Wow, I hope I can answer all these. First off I live in central Florida and have fished the Harris Chain of lakes for many years as well as others.

At this time of year as the water is cooling, it;s best to start slowing down your presentation. Lures to use is a good question and depends on where you’re fishing and what type of water you are in, stained, clear etc.. Also depends on the bottom and structure and location ( shoreline, deep water, etc)

I myself prefer shoreline and use top water lures like the 11G – 13 G or S series Rapalas and of course the old standby plastic worms and colors very depending on water clarity but for the most part it’s Red or Moccasin color work best here. You mentioned a steady retrieve, for that try the all around favorite Spinner bait in white or chartreuse

To have success at Bass fishing the first thing you have to do is know your prey inside and out. Remember the bass is a preditor and lays in ambush for his food, so you have to go to him.
To do that you have to go to the bottom for the best fish.

The Tips I’d give you and it sounds stupid I know but if you want to catch bass remember 1 a bass is a preditor 2 he can’t ware sunglasses and has no eye lids, so if your in the sun with no glasses where do you go 3 he hears with his lateral line and has sight that is unparalleled and a mind equal with yours and will challenge the best of fishermen. Remember he is the King of his domain.

From a sportsman’s view always remember when that big one gets away, don’t get mad, it only means he was a better fish than you were a fishermen.
