With a best catch of 3KG bass you should be telling us how to catch them, hehe.
I won't bother asking what lures, because these fish eat everything that fits into their mouths if presented politely, including a spiderman toy with a hook.
You just have to understand where to find them, and be willing to try lots of different things.
Fast retrieve, slow, varied, try different lures.
This time of year they move into the shallows early mornings and late afternoons but they hang around a little deeper when the sun warms up.
That feeding period is very short, in the shallows I mean, so spend most of your time targeting deeper structure, tree stumps, ledges etc
As with all artificial lure fishing you're going to cast 200 times and catch one fish most of the time, for me anyway, other times you can nail them one after the other. Haven't had that kind of luck aside from small fish yet, but I've caught a couple of nice bass. Then again I've tried live frogs and worms too with little success.
You just have to try lots of different things I think, even if eventually you're a guru and understand all the best things to try at different times like a certain spinnerbait when it's cloudy or whatever, you will still have to vary it.
Without a fish finder it's a little bit harder to find structure, so walk along the bank slowly trying different things in different places, what better way to spend the day?
