Ok, I had never ever ever ever EVER had any luck whatsoever in fresh water until this past wed. I work at a Ranger dealership, my boss was on the pro tours for a while, he still does a few from time to time, and there's a little local every tuesday bass tournament, him and his buddy were going to go try a few spots out and he was leaving early from work, "I'm going fishing, I'll be leaving at 4:30." So I say, "I wanna go fishing." all pouty and stuff. He says, "Well, we're leaving at 4:30, be in the truck and you can go." So, they rig me up with a Sinko, and here's me, used to flats fishing in the Indian River Lagoon, making these beautiful long casts up into cow pasture, from there, you plop it on top of a lilypad, skip it onto a few more lilypads, finally hit a hole, let it sit for a few seconds, twitch, and bring it through the lilypads, maybe snag another lilypad or otherwise end up on top of the greens again, and BAM!!!
6 - 6 1/2 pounder.... biggest one of the trip, so it works.... it's all in the presentation.
*smirk*
Oh, and my boss didn't catch anything. Haha!! Outfished by a girl who never caught a bass before!
Edited to add......
Thanks Exert, it was fun, I think I'm an addict, now.
Edited again...
Thanks Brandon. :)

There are two bass fishing lures that I like to use that have brought me a lot of success. One is a spinning lure called a rooster tail and the other is a floating lure called the hula popper. The rooster tail has a tube shaped body, a spinning blade and a treble hook. It comes in may sizes, colors and shapes. Just cast it out and retrieve it at a quick, steady speed to ensure the blade spins. Occasionally, work your rod to make the rooster tail twitch, giving the illusion that the lure is in distress. The hula popper is a great lure for catching big largemouth bass. The hula popper has a unique shaped popping head that makes noise in the water and a hula skirt that attracts fish. There are many different colors and variations. The best time to use the hula popper is at night and in the warmer months. After you cast it, wait until the ripples disappear, then twitch it occasionally while keeping the line tight, so that you’re ready to set the hook when a bass strikes. Both lures can be found at any store that sells fishing tackle. I have had a lot of success with catching largemouth bass using both lures. I never go fishing without them. I hope you try them out and they bring you success as well.

Rattling bait such as a Canadian wiggler retrieved in 3 or 4 foot runs and stops.
Same for a streamer on a fly rod except 2' and a pump pull not a steady pull.
