Yamamoto Senko is hands down the best bass bait on the market. There are a lot of imitations out there(including the yum dinger mentioned above) but the original Yamamoto senko is step above all of them. They're salt content is very high giving it an action that makes it look alive especially when wacky rigged(hooked in the middle with a #2 bait hook and no weight).  I guarantee if you buy a bag and try them out you will have great success. For more info or to buy some go to www.insideline.net They have a great forum where pro's are always happy to help out and you can order directly from the factory there.\nP.S. Try the watermellon pepper,excellent collor! Good Luck and tight lines.

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.

Spinner Baits, Slugos, Deep Diving Rapalas. It all depends how warm the water is. The warmer it is, the deeper they go.

If your using terminal takle go with wax worms.\n\nIf you want to through lures use a 1/8 oz. Wordens Rooster tail; jigs tipped with wax worms work really well. \n\nThere is a jig put out by GRIZZLY JIG COMPANY, http://www.grizzlyjig.com/html/grizzly_jigs.html, O strongly recommend them. The rigging method for  these is easy. Take a crappie rod or any ultralight is fine, and put on a slip bobber. Set the depth at three feet attach two jigs, one at the bottom and another at 2 feet.  Cast to where you want it an dlet it go to work . These usally get hit on the sinking motion so it is easier if you are on a dock or using a crappie rod or in a boat.

Ling cod can be caught on pretty much anything whether it be jig bait , plastics or live bait. anything live will get attention and can be used. time has shown even stainless spoons with hooks attached have taken ling cod. what you need is lively looking bait that moves. lings strike fast on moving bait. if you catch a small rockfish you can nose hook it and send it down for a ling. i have found that small rockfish will conjure up lings faster than you can start reeling in. also, the bigger the bait the bigger the ling. lings even eat other lings. so the best live bait in my opinion is definitely a blue rockfish juvenile or live anchovy.

Well, word of mouth is a good start.  Go to bait stores, sporting stores, tackle shops.  You will find valuable answers there!

use anything that looks like a threat to their bed \nlizards or bluegill both are great \nif u see a bass on bed just keep dragging it thru there and bumping the fish until shes had enough but always be quick on the hook set because they will spit it out they dont want to eat just run it off\nor use dynomite lol

Use a Steel leader, 20-30Lb. test line , and 1/4 - 1/2 Lb. spoons or spinners. Buzz baits work well also.

I like to use my silver spinner. Get one with a bight strip on it. If you go in the river use a smaller one, and if you are at the mouth of the river us a medium one. They also like flies. Find out which ones just hatched and go get that bait. They eat it up. Good Luck!

We have the best luck with spinners and buck tails.  Usually like them to have a little red on them.  You can use a little red finger nail polish on the head or spinner.  Also perch colored ones work great. When we are going after large pike we like to use muskie bate.  You will usually catch a lot of pike but an occasional muskie.  Nothing beats that!\n\nhttp://www.crazydtackle.com/spinbuckraddog.shtml

Well, poo on "Report abuse".  I like to put some worms in a ziplock bag, spray with a garlic attractant, and then sprinkle in some garlic salt.  I only tend to use scents when the fishing is tough, but on a couple times, the bass really loved this mix.  On one occasion, on almost every cast for about an hour, I had around 20 bass hit my worm marinade.  Make this mix the night before you fish, so that the worms can soak in the flavor.  Keep in mind that bass attractants do not attract the bass, it only masks the odor of humans, and plastic to ensure a few extra seconds to set the hook, before the bass spits the worm out and you miss them.  If you really want to out-fish your hubby, get some YUM products.  They use an attractant that is built in to the bait, and works very well. I would suggest you get some YUM dingers.  Rig them texas style without any wieght.  Cast at the edges of any and all cover, and hold on to the rod, let the worm sink to the bottom as you pull the slack up with the rod tip, not reeling in any line.  I find most times, bass hit the worm after the initial "kerplunk", so keeping a semi-taut line will let you feel even the most subtle hits. But watch your line as well, because sometime you don't feel the hit, but your line will shoot off or move in one direction or the other.  If you don't get any bites on the first fall, let the bait sink to the bottom, and give it a few tugs, so the worm jumps about 1 foot off the bottom.  Usually bass will watch the worm, and this twitching will entice them to eat it. If it doesn't, hop it all the way back to you.  Don't tug to hard, or bass will be turned off, and know it's a fake.  I have drastically improved my catch rate using YUM dingers.  They come in 3,4,5,6,and 7 inch worms, as well as a 9 inch split-tail model.  I use the 4 inch and would suggest you get the same size, as well as a 6 or 7 inch size too.  I live in PA, and in this region, watermelon seed color works the best.  You should also try the YUM 7 inch ribbontail worm.  They work great also.  I have caught over 50 bass in the past month using YUM products, and would be lying if I told you YUM had nothing to do with it.  I think they have a great product for a low price too. When you buy them, also buy some Gamakotsu #1 size worm hooks.  They allow the worms to fall properly, and at a good and enticing rate.  Have fun, and trust me, with YUM, you WILL outfish your husband. Tight lines

I prefer 2 lures for BIG BASS.  The jig and pig or jig and craw both are proven time and time again as BIG BASS catchers.  Also try any lures that are larger than you'd usually use.  Try a Heddon Zara Spook.  Use the walk the dog method on choppy water for great results! Almost anything that's too big for a smaller bass will attract the BIG BOYS.  Try any soft plastic worms that are 10 inches or more.  I like YUM worms due to the fact that they hold together very well.  I have caught several bass on 1 single worm, as opposed to say a senko that when used can usually only land 1 bass, maybe 2 if your lucky.  You can use a larger size original floater by Rapala to get larger bass also.  It is more knowing where the big boys are hiding while paying attention to conditions such as water temp, clarity, air temp, your retrieval speed, your techniques, etc...  You can catch a lunker on a finesse jig, or an 8 inch crankbait.  You have to learn how bass think before you can understand how they feed. Here is a good site you can use to learn about bass and their habits alittle more.  You can learn all sorts of good stuff at this site.  I know for sure that it helped me a great deal.  Keep your line tight and you bait wet,  BASS Fisherman

if you type in fishing and hit search it will take you where you want to go.  try marshmallows,the minature ones you can eat, also try mealworm, waxworms and powerbait.  on powerbait you have to try several different kinds until you find one that a fish will bite on

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.
