Learn how to fish a plastic worm. It is the one most effective bass getter of all time. Also, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jigs. Although none of these are as effective as plastic worms, they will catch fish. B.A.S.S. has a monthly magazine that is very informative. It can be found on most news stands.

The best, most undisputed crappie bait ever, are live minnows.  Crappie go nuts for them.  In fact, in your local tackle shop, they'll probably have a size of minnow called a "crappie minnow."  This isn't because it's a baby crappie, it's because it's the perfect size for catching crappie.\n\nThat being said, there are other lures that will seduce those paper-mouthed rascals into biting.  My personal favorite is a white 1/16 oz. jig head w/ a chartruese "trailer."  I say trailer because when it comes to crappie lures, the sky is the limit.  There are as many different 2" trailers for crappie jigs as there are soft plastics for bass fishing.  You can catch them on almost all of them though, but I really like the white head/chartruese body combo.\n\nAnother good lure is a small rooster tail.  Find one with a silver color and silver blades.  It mimics minnows, and therefore triggers strikes.\n\nGood Luck.

It depends on what you are fishing for, where you are fishing at, water clarity, water temperature, barometric pressure, and the amount of pressure on the fish.\n\nWorms are always a good general bait.... minnows and brim are usually on most larger fishes diets as well.  Catfish spieces like a good bloody liver, chicken, fish or just about anything.  Walleye and Large mouth bass have very similar diets.....\n\nThere are just alot of variables.... my favorite and best producer is a 7 inch grape curltail worm.... I prefer Berkley or YUM

Lake Dixion is one of the best bass fisheries in the world. Spring lake is also great, but Dixion sticks out. The bass in these lakes are HUGE! Use strong rods reels line ect. Big swimbaits, a foot long is normal. Fish them in or around 30 feet of water for sunny days; if its cloudy go to the bank. But if you want to catch a bunch a 6 inch worm is always good.

I have the best luck casting with buck-tail spinners.  That's what I have caught all mine on. Black/red.  I prefer the double blades.  Perch colored Inhalers are also great. Noisy top waters in the spring. We never fish with live bait.  If you have a Muskies Inc. chapter in your area I would recommend joining that.  The meetings are packed with information and there are people that will be willing to take you fishing to show you how to fish.  Also getting Muskie Hunter Magazine.\nHope that helps.

I'm not sure if "Gamagatzu" has a web addy, however, "Bass Pro Shop" and "Cabelas" both carry there line of hooks. You could also try your local baitshop ,they may have a "G"-catalog.

You should try a 3/8 ounce jig head , Texas rig a power worm (color:tequila sunrise) and jig it on the bottom near timber....this will give the worm a fairly slow sink rate and you will get lots of bites while the worm is sinking\n\nTry to use some Rapala baits, preferably the X-RAP, gold and silver colors work the best. Husky jerks work well in spawning bass beds and weeds.\n\nAnother tip is to use a a white tube with red glitter( Venom brand) and inset a 1/16 tud insert weight and jig that on the bottom...but don't push that tube weight all the way up. by doing this that tube twitches more and attracts more fish..also use some liquid powerbait bass attractant with that.\n\nBuzzbaits work very good. so des berkley gulp!\n\nlive shiners...never fail\n\nplastic frogs work very well as a topwater bait.

Spinning outfit will work fine - ultra light would be best.  You want to use like 2 or 4 lb mono especially when it is sunny.  My favorite lure is a spoon called a "Super Duper". "Rooster Tail" is also a good lure for me.  You want very small lures/baits.  That is one of the reasons you want light line.  It easier to cast a light lure with light line.  The other reason is a heavy line is more likely to spook the fish. You also what to have your line in the water at first light or as early as is legal.  I have found that the first hour in the morning is the most productive.  My last word of advice is to patronize a tackle shop that is local to where you are fishing. This is a great place to find out what bait is hot and what location is hot.

the flounder in jersey just go nuts over marabou jigs.You'll need light tackle,4 lb test is perfect, but the just cant resist an eighth oz jig. I like green,yellow white and grey jigs. Bass Pro has them real cheap.There is no need to tip them with bait.I'll guarantee if you try this you'll kill them.

The bass get pretty big in Florida. I would go with say a 1 or 2 ought hook for bass and I would probably go with say a 1/16 oz or even a 1/32 oz small jig for bream or specks.(blugill or crappie) these sizes will get you through the season. I have fished for bass in florida and have used up to say 4-5 ought hook for shiner fishing. (with a weed guard) and used golden shiners up to 12" long to catch them. My biggest so far is 8.5 lbs caught in Okeechobee.

a small 4 foot 6 inch to a 5 foot lite rod, like a berkley lightening rod and a small spinning reel, 2-6 pound test line, an live worms, or the spinners or power bait(orange or green paste)...they are some of the best baits and there are many  more!

If there is a bait shop near the pier than go and talk to the fisherman. (the ones who are catching fish)  But usually the bait store guy will tell you because his buddys are giving him the report. The most siimple way to rig is the top and bottom wire riggs, 1,2,3and maby 4, oz weights. dipending on what is biteing, use a #1 or # circle hook, if sea trout,(the stealth bombers of the sea) use somthing smaller cause they can hit and run in 2 seconds flat and steal your bait.  all of this stuff is cheap enough so buy a few extras cause your going to loose some on rocks and seaweed. 20 dollars will have you fishing for a month or two.
