Bass Fishing Myths

I was thinking about some bass fishing myths today and I figured I would start a thread about them.

What are some myths that you've heard over the years? They can be local, as in only on your favorite lake, or widespread. Here are some myths that some local guys around here believe.

1. Top water baits only work in summer and not in bright sunlight. I've caught some of my biggest bass in late fall on a Rapala Skitter Pop and a Skitter Prop on sunny and cloudy days.

2. Senkos have to be fished weightless. I catch as many or more bass on weighted Senkos as weightless.

3. In-line spinners like Mepps and Rooster Tails are only for trout. A couple of my friends and I do very well with Mepps Aglias for largemouth and smallmouth bass.

Those are only a few of the many that I’ve heard over the years. I’m looking forward to hearing some of yours.
