Cover it with your hands very slowly and trap it. Then take it down to your pool if you have one or fill up a cup of water

KCDude,\n\nI'm not sure which power bait you're talking about, but weather it's a worm, lizzards, or catfish bait... it should sink with just the weight of a hook.  All of these baits are best fished on the bottom unless you want to fish a worm as a topwater - then you should hook it "wacky" style or use light weight hooks.  There are better soft plastic baits to use for topwater if that's your goal.  Good Luck fishing!!

try swimming or skipping

Worms work! Grey crickets, Power Bait,(either one) on a chartreuse jig have worked for me in the past when fishing for crappie, blue-gill, and bream.\nGood Luck!

I have always fished for them in Florida, but the technique should be the same. I use size 1/0 hooks with a 1/4 inch weight stopped with a bead 6 inches from the hook . I fish off the bottom with live shrimp that I have cut into smaller sections. Drums, red and black, like to feed on the bottom so if you are going to use a lure like a jig you need to make sure you just bounce it along the bottom. The best time is while the tide is moving. I have found that the faster the tide is moving (in or out) the better luck I have. You should be able to check a local paper for tide times. The fish move with the tide, so when the tide is changing (dead tide) the fishing is usually not that good.Good Luck.

What are you fishing for? and are you talking NY City area or Finger lakes region or more West ? most places a night crawler will work just fine, or a spinner bait, a plastic worm in a shade of green or black. good luck and catch some big ones

There's a pier in hattaras, really close to the hills, there's also surf fishing, use a bottom rig and red squid, the blues run in high tide, you can catch croaker too. Good Luck!

Hey, we are headed there tomorrow, awesome catches, large Red, trout, flounder and Black drum, we use live bait,  mostly mud minnows, mullet and shrimp. The trout love Ghost shrimp, but you must catch them yourself at the beach and the limit is 20. the best place to buy bait at Port Isabel is Harry's. They usually have everything. If you are boating, you can catch your bait over by the SPI Conference center (bay side) near the little canals. Lots of mullet and mud minnows.. Hey, GOOD LUCK!!!

Minnows:  buy a minnow trap and bait it with bread crumbs\nworms:    pick them up off the road after a heavy rain. Keep them in the basment or garage with coffee grounds and dirt\n\ncickets:  catch them as you find them.

Why not try fishing?  If you can, find a bait shop or any sporting goods store and ask what can be caught in the area, and how it can be caught (i.e. fishing methods, baits, lures).  I'm sure you can even catch coldwater fish like trout, salmon, steelhead, and pike on a cold november day like this one.  I'm about to head off right now since the water hasn't begun to freeze over just yet.  If there is snow in your area, I believe it would be best to do something fun like skiing or snowboarding.  Just do something, and whatever you end up doing, just remember to have fun with it.

Probably the best bait would be large black lug and squid. Use a pully rig.First cut a lenght of shock leader approx 2ft.Tie a weight clip on the end ,then slid a bait clip above it a peice of silicon rubber holds it in place.Follow it with a bead then a large swivel another bead goes on next. Tie a overhand knot to form a loop.To this tie a length of nylon about 18ins long use two hooks pennel style,they need to be large hooks2/0 say.The swivel fixes to your shock leader. When you bait up use 2 or3 lug and a peice of squid to tip off .Put the hook onto the bait clip,the weight of the lead will hold it in place.When this hits the water any slack line will make the hook fall away. This time of year the main speices will be cod.These fish have big mouths so a big bait is needed. Hope this goes some way to helping you out.Tight lines.

thay are larvae like stone fly nymphs and case worms that live in rocky creek and river bottoms. Carefully turn over rocks and you will find them and other larvae skittering around. Hook them and drift fish in the water you fond them in with enough weight for them to drift along barely bumping the bottom. Too little weight and they will float too high in the water, too much and you will snag up

Bass will be coming up to the shallows looking for spawning areas and food, try a plastic worm with a small weight in and around the lilly pads (texas rig style)hook point in the worm to prevent hooking the pads. Try green spinner baits around the timber letting it sink close to bottom. Most people reel crankbaits so fast only the most active fish will bite, slow down :D

I usually fish for bass their are not as smelly as the northern pike, although those pike put up a good fight. We usually catch them on a 3/8 oz. spinner bait in a chart. or white/chart color. Red and white dare devils work also, pretty much any thing will work, we have caught them on 7" Black power worms 5" senko's ( they are a little pricey for pike though) my parents neighbor swears by 6 to 8 inch minnows. The spinner bait is probably the easiest way I belive to catch them, as long as they are close by they will inhale them, then it's fight on. Just cast out and reel in. You may want a steel leader I usually just use fire line in 14lb or 20lb and haven't lost one yet, although I would have liked to some times. Good luck and catch them Pike.

I have found that the best retirieve to catch bass would have to cast it out as close to weeds, or logs, or rock cover as you can, keep your rod tip up and you line taut.  Let the worm sink and usually you will get the hit on the initial fall.  If not, let the worm sink to the bottom.  Then give the worm a few tugs, very small tugs, remember, you have to make it look real, so huge tugs make it look like a super worm, and may result in a hit, but, not many.  After you have given 2,3 maybe 4 little tugs on the worm, let it sink again.  I have found that most hits occur as the worm is falling.  So it is a must to keep your line taut, or you won't even feel the strike.  You must also keep your eye on your line where it enters the water.  Sometimes, you don't feel the hit, even with a tight line, but you will see your line either twitch, or move off to one side or the other.  Be ready to set the hook.  I prefer the YUM dinger in the 4 inch model and 6 inch model, in the watermelon seed color with gold flakes. They have a small slit in the worm to hide the hook in, resulting in easier, and better hook-ups.  Bill Dance once said "Any color and size of worm is good, as long as it is 6 inches and purple."  Try watermelon seed first, it seems to work everywhere.  Purple, black, red, and watermelon seed  also seem to work well.  But you have to experiment to find a good color. Here are a few sites to get you started.  I also have found that if the YUM dinger doesn't work, the YUM 6 inch ribbontail usually does.  If niether of those work, I try the YUM hawgtail, and almost always catch bass with 1 of the 3.  I would be lying if I told you that these three soft plastics have not improved my catch ratio per fishing trip, than any other plastics, and lures combined. I have found that using worms, I have found that it makes little difference on the water condition, when fishing a worm.  I have caught bass in muddy water, clear water, and in between with a worm, as well as at night. Bass have a "sensor" called the lateral lines. The bass can feel the worm before they see it.  In fact the largest bass I have ever caught was caught on a YUM dinger, at 2 a.m. during a full moon. But I have also had good bass at night when it was cloudy out. I prefer to Texas rig my plastics, most always wieghtless, on a 1/0 worm hook.  Have fun, and tight lines.
