Surface lures can take fish all day long, sometimes. Bass rely on good ambush points, so always investigate stumps, trees and docks with your surface lures. Any small animal, like a frog, salamander or crayfish, are on the bass's menu, so use surface lures that emulate these animals. Whether you use wood or plastic surface lures, with bass being aggressive, you will have no doubt about the strike. This turns every trip into a memorable one.
