Keep repeating this to cover a wide area of water and different depths. Once you catch that first bass, fishn that depth with a nice steady retrieve for bast results. Crankbaits with small lips and slim long bodies give you an action like live baitfish, and are very...

I love them because I feel they are more interactive and you have to fool the bass more than with other baits. If you throw out a worm and just reel it in, you are not likely to catch many fish. You have to know how to work it and you have to be very patient in...
