What's working for you?

So if somebody new to bass fishing walked up and asked you, "What lure or technique would work best for this time of year on Washington lakes", what would you say?

After some recent learning from Lyle, I'd go with a 176 Yamamoto grub, single-tail, twin-tail or Hula-Grub (they all seem to work), Texas-rigged with a 1/8 to 1/4 oz bullet weight, thrown around rocks, bank undercuts and general structure from inches deep  to about 15ft deep on most bodies of water.

OMG - it almost sounds like I'm beginning to understand what I'm doing!

Geez, Glenn.  Thats a tough one, but if I HAD to make a choice of baits, it would likely be a Terminator, white & chart.  I am confident that the lingering spawners and post spawn fish getting in their summer patterns would be actively feeding.  That would likely be the FIRST thing that I would try.

Faz and Kirk summed it up. I have been throwing that same spinnerbait, sometimes white though, followed by tossing single tail grubs. My grub fish so far through the summer have come in water starting around 8 ft deep and going deeper. The spinnerbait bite will turn on and off throughout the day being good in early morning.

For me

Shallow no docks, but other features, rocks, logs etc, I also throw the terminator predominately white with some kind of subtle other color blue for example.

Dock that are shallow, I like senko's Texas or wacky

If the end of the dock is deep, dropshot with something perchy in and around the pilings.  Also bitsybug with 176 twin tail.

Deep structure...Dropshot

   Glen do what you do best...you can catch them this weekend with out stooping down and getting your info from us lil guys!!!
    Have some faith and confidance in your self, and if you don't have the time to dig that deep, take Kerri with you, she'll put you on fish!!!

My favorite bait this time of year is a white spinnerbait with a gold and silver blade. I've had almost all my success on hot windy days though. On those hot summer motionless days I pitch a jig deep into cover. It's been working real well for me thios year. And i fcloudy through the jig at the edge of the pads. About a week ago i caught over 50 bass doing that.

Hopefully someone will ask "what's not working for you" so I can add to the conversation.  Grin

Thanks for the responses guys - just to clarify, I meant any lake in Washington state, not Lake Washington (only).

I want to try new things and was curious what y'all do that works for you.  Gets me out of a rut of throwing the same things and gives me a starting point, so to speak.
