Lure fishing — 50 bass per leading entry. This is a session-level association, not catches individually attributed to each lure or an effort-adjusted success rate.
Sidewinder Skerries Pro Shore Model, 125mm / 22g — 50 bass per leading entry. This is a session-level association, not catches individually attributed to each lure or an effort-adjusted success rate.
A proven “most successful” method or lure cannot be selected from mentions alone. Fishing time, conditions and catches attributed to each option are needed for a fair comparison. The tables show what featured most often in published catch reports; a tie stays a tie.

Reports are grouped by their original publication date. Fishing dates are shown separately when known. Only explicit bass counts enter the total; reports with unknown counts still appear in the digest. Known repeated sessions and identical structured accounts are consolidated; undetected duplicates remain possible. Own-channel replies are excluded from independent totals. External replies need explicit first-person catch wording. Missing values remain unknown. Tackle popularity means mentions in this set of reports, not sales, votes or proof of effectiveness.
Largest length and weight are separate records and may describe different fish. Only unambiguous measurements are ranked. Coverage is the number of accounts recording a field, out of all eligible published catch reports. Combined tackle lists stay combined. Source checks, exclusions and provenance are retained internally; this page presents aggregate findings without individual citations.
The archive reflects records currently held and eligible for use. Source withdrawals, corrections and expiry can change past weeks. Missing historical records are not reconstructed. Automatic imports still require the existing scheduler and configured source access.
