As the summer has progressed, I have stayed away from using live baits, such as minnows. Instead, I have used a variety of lures, and two types that stand out are tubes and crank baits. First, I will talk about the tube jig. I have caught many fish on this, including all three types of bass in Michigan: the smallmouth, the largemouth and the rock bass. I use tube jigs mostly while fishing in rivers by letting it drift down with the current and then hopping it back; success has been good.
Next up is the crank bait. For smallmouth bass, I prefer a crayfish-color crankbait that almost touches or touches the bottom. For largemouth bass, I prefer a minnow-colored crankbait such as the clack-and-rap. My advice is to run them one or two feet below the surface. With these tips for these two lure categories, I can almost guarantee that you will be catching some fish this summer!
