natural lake follow-up question

Natural-looking crankbaits, Pop-r's, Plastic worms of various colors (T-rigged and C-rigged), shallow-diving cranks, tandem spinnerbaits over weeds, double-prop baits, black buzzbaits, black spinnerbaits, soft jerkbaits of various colors.

Seeing as that pretty much covers my whole tacklebox :-), I thought it couldn't hurt to ask the opposite question -- are there any particular lures/techniques that you would, as a rule, NOT use at that time of the year in that area?

If the word came down that the fish were eating crayfish on rocky secondary points, I would be probing those points with a tube, spider grub , or crankbait.

Tom Monsoor caught almost every single one of his legal fish on one bait in the FLW this year, and made the FLW Championship.

So I would never say , I will "never" throw this particular bait at this time of year. There will be times I won't throw a bait in a particular situation, but those are more common sense things such as a crankbait through solid mats of weed on the surface, but I will work one along the edges of that same mat in the morning and evening.

I think you get the point. YOu could realistically cover almost any situation with a spinnerbait, just using blade changes and different weights and skirts.

I have been told by people on this board to just keep it simple, and truthfully that has paid off for me big time.
