When all else fails and NOTHING is working, what do you guys and gurls do? For me it is to slow way down and finesse with small jigs and plastics, first shallow then if that doesn't work, I ease out deeper. I'll also tend to chunk and wind that ole crankbait, as I'm a bit hyper at times and like to keep moving.
my "comfort bait" is a deep diving crankbait. Even if that is not working at least I cover a lot of water and feel productive.
An SR5 shad rap I know that it will catch fish anywhere

If this fails then I would try a pearl Tube jig, then if I still can't find fish I tie on a SR5 Shad Rap and fish it up on the bank, I fished at Lake Nolin, Ky. last year on Memorial Day weekend and we caught 56 fish from 2:30 pm to 10:00 pm. There were (7) different types of fish caught with the biggest being a 20" Walleye. This bait will catch them if there in the area... lol
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-22-06 AT 12:05PM (EST)[/font][p]1. 1/2 oz. jig, several colors --> any time of year, day or night
2. carolina rig --> late spring through early fall
3. slow-rolled spinnerbait --> night fishing
I've been trying to get into cranking, throwing a jerkbait, etc., but just have very little confidence in them. After an hour or so with little luck, I'm back to the jig.
1/8 oz jig head with 4 inch finese worm or split shot rig with same worm. I vary worm colors and tail types depending on water conditions.
A 4" worm. Fish love worms!
definately a 12 inch mud-dog....Actually I would probably go with my homemade blk/blu jig quarter ounce teamed up with a zoom beaver prok trailer.
I'm in my comfort zone with a tube. But when things are tough i go to a (4")Cabin Creek Saturn IV in smoke/purple glitter and target Ky's.
I love a trick worm with no weight
I like an 1\8 oz. black & blue bitsy jig with sapphire blue zoom swimmin chunk , or bandit crankbaits in rootbeer & baby bass. They each can wear them out at times.
