I still have the same stuff tied on in the spring basically for the last 10 years when it comes to bed fishing. Chartreuse gitzit, clear grub with silver flake,drop shot, swimbait Hudd or Bluegill, And some sort of creature bait. I have had good success with this but just wondering if there is something new out there I should try?

PREDATOR WORMS NEW 5, 7, 9, INCH SWIMBAITS ARE REAL NICE AND YOU SHOULD GET SOME NICE BED FISH WITH THE 5 INCH.
PREDATOR WORMS ALSO HAS SOME GREAT CRAWDADS (ALOT LIKE THE HUDDLE BUG) AND 8 INCH LIZARDS.
I PERSONALLY THROUGH THE LIZARDS AT SUCCESS LAST YEAR AND THE BEDFISH ATE THEM UP.

I like to really get the bait in their face this time of the year, and the more obnoxious the bait the more aggressive the bite. Its nice to really piss off momma this time of the year and watch her eat or peck the shit out of a nice big bright plastic bait weather it be a swimbait or a giant tube.

One go to bait for me is a small piece of a mathiolate trick worm on a drop shot or texas rigged. They hate this colr when on the bed. When fishing in muddy water in a area were I think they are bedding I use a whole worm (same color) texas rigged with a pegged 1/16 ounce weight. This works great in pressured water. Give it a try, you will be surprised.
