[QUOTE="BaitCaster, post: 146133, member: 2895"] Absolutely, conditions will always determine what bait/technique might be most productive. The main thing I look at in determining what bait to use is the type of cover and/or structure I am in fishing. For example, with reference to the scum frog, I like to use the scum frog on think beds of lilly pads. I would use a top water spook on an overcast day and/or where there is a slight chop on the water over top of submerged weeds or grass beds. On a hot sunny day I am going to look for docks, swimming platforms and other over hanging structure (which creates shade). I will skip tube baits under the cover, or slowly pick it apart with a Senko. On heavy sumberged vegetation I may burn a spinner bait or chatter bait over the top. If there is a cold front moving in, or the bite has turned off, I may go to a shaky head jig and worm. As you can see, the choice of bait will depend on a number of factors. There are thousands of articles on the internet tha talk about when/where to use certain patterns. Of course, nothing is fool proof and sometimes you just have to find your own pattern. That's what make fishing so much fun! [/QUOTE]
