I have gone fishing for Bass a lot recently and have got skunked. What is the most effective way of catching bass without using live bait.

[the decoy hunter]

Great question since any bass fisherperson has been in that boat at one time or another.Some days just seem impossible at best--the only tip I can offer is to switch out of your bass tackle into other tackle in your box that was not designed for bass.It is kind of a "change up" pitch so to speak but it has worked in the past and when it does not work I usually go home in four or five hours.

If I'm targeting bass and i dont get any, I usually go to panfish equipment or a flyrod

I am in agreement with decoy hunter and fisher...ive caught many many bass over the years and when there not hittin bass tackle i switch to panfish tackle... after all a Bass is a panfish..the best all time bass lure ive used almost with out fail is the red and white, BASS-O-RENO..which by the way also makes an excellent Pike and Muskie lure
