I just use plain plastic worms, my favorite company for them is zoom, hook them right in the smooth collar not fancy. Largemouths by me almost never disapoint when fishing in this manner.
I use a black and silver medium sized Rapala shad rap. If I don't catch a fish in the first few tosses, it's time to move the boat. It is my fish finder.
Silver spinner.
I used to use hula poppers all the time,but they take time and patience.
Now I do most of my fishing with my 2 sons so I need to get a few casts in between helping them.
Black Gulp paddle tail worm texas rigged with no weight. kills on the way down and if they dont hit it on the descent twitching it brings in the big ones. at night a spook brings in huge hits...nothing like hearing a huge splash followed by a screeching run in the darkness of night. i want to go fighing now...
