So, my uncle and I have this ongoing family feud. Whenever he catches more fish than I do, you ought to see him strutting around for weeks on end, reminding me of his victory every time we meet. On top of all that he’ll ask the same question repeatedly: “So, how many fish have you caught lately?”
When it comes to bass fishing lures, he says the plastic worms are unbeatable. I reckon he knows what he’s talking about, most of the time. He’s proven it more than once, after all. When he’s caught himself a giant of a bass and I still have an empty bucket, I’m tempted to push him into the water.
But during our last bass fishing trip, I really passed him up this time. I was pulling them in one after another, and you can be sure he scowled the entire time!
So how did I do it? Well, I use crankbait as my bass fishing lures. Bass fish like them because they’re like tender steaks, and they look somewhat like crayfish or baitfish. Since they do well in most kinds of water, these are great fishing lures to add to your repertoire.
As a backup, I used spinnerbaits. These tiny buggers resemble baitfish. They are really good for attracting large bass very quickly. They perform well in most waters and you can find them in a variety of colors.
I pulled in so much bass that day, we had more than enough to eat like kings that evening and still have some left over for breakfast. I did my best to console my uncle by saying he could eat his fish as an appetizer. I’m getting pretty good at this fishing thing. Now I just have to develop my ‘one that got away’ story!
