Just saw this thread so I'm a little late. For the future
here's some info from my friend Matt who is a Pro bass fisherman.

Here's what he has to say.

Also rubber worms .

That's all you'll ever need.
Gold/silver black back 3" rapalla for top water twitching. 8" black or grape rubber worm on a slow drag and twitch.

2-1/2" floating Rebel has worked for me since 1967. Crappies also lose their minds. Bigger trout and yellow perch like it. The retrieve is critical and you have to develop it for what the fish are doing, temperatures, cloud cover, time of day, etc. Shad squirt on scent oil helps quite a bit.

I was actually flipping a 5" watermelon red flake Yum dinger on a Texas rig for a while. Great setup and color they're just not that hungry yet around here. Bass typically spawn throughout May around these parts

Re: Best lures for bass fishing?
Got my ass up early today to get on the lake by sunrise. Daily temps have been mid to upper sixties lately here in the mountain state with temperatures today expected to be mid seventies.

What kind of lures do the glp fishers recommend? I plan on throwing mainly football head jigs, chatterbaits, crankbaits and soft plastics on a Texas or maybe wacky rig (typically Yum dingers)

Haven't hooked up with a bass this year and I'm getting desperate so any pro tips are greatly appreciated!

Re: Best lures for bass fishing?
Yeah! Successful day at the river. Landed a few smallies and a rock bass as well. They were all over a red, Arkie brand crappie crank. Lots of bites on a basic jighead with an orange grub, too.

So happy the season is picking up! Interested in hearing other success stories and what lures you're using.

Shad Rapala! Make sure to pinch the front eyelet to make ellipticle instead of a circle so it waggles more!

I like live minnows. If I can't get them, I use Rapalas.
 Quoting: Inquiring Mind


Using the golden shiner pattern Shad Rapala at irvine lake I almost broke the lake record 9-7/8 lb largemouth record at that time was 10lbs

trolling at 3 miles an hour in 1994 above fallen tree structure...

now the the lake record is 14lbs.

Anybody have experience with larger, multi-jointed hard swimbaits? Just started getting into it no luck yet. Only things I'm currently throwing are large shad, bluegill and rats but they move so beautifully in the water and I have high hopes

For hot weather...Moss Boss. Glides over lily pads, moss, weeds, etc. If those conditions are not present, it is a very effective twitch bait, with a super slow sink rate. White with a white skirt, or, frog with a white skirt. Try it.

Re: Best lures for bass fishing?
I had amazing luck fishing spinner baits in mid-sized ponds in Orlando. When the water warms up, near spawning season, as the bass are forming depressions in the sand (nests), dance a neon spinner above them. The bass will hit that lure like a freight train.

Any type of weedless frog lure- the top water ones especially- will really perform IF the bass are large enough where your fishing.

That's only for largemouth though. I'm not really sure about other varieties.

Early morning, or later in the evening, top water buzz bait = excitement.

Yes, buzz baits for top water, the ole purple worm for bottom. Learn how to present both and bass can't resist.
