You can find them at most online fishing retailers.  www.basspro.com is a good one as well as www.cabelas.com.\n\nI'd like to make a suggestion though, depending on how much you're willing to put into it.  \n\nThe Team Diawa Viento is the best reel I've ever put in my hands.  They have a left and right handed model so that won't be a problem.  It retails at about $200 but it's really worth the price.  They just came out a few months ago and I've already got 6 of them.

for bait id say minnows and salmon eggs. they love 'em. for lures run spoons, spinners, rooster tails, even some rapala minnows will get eaten by the big ones.\n\ngood luck and leave a few for me!

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'm going to have to say soft plastics.  The reason for this is because they're sooooo effective and there's so many different presentations you can do with them.  Anything from a texas rigged crawbug to a floating trick worm.  Carolina rig a fluke, or slow roll a lizard.  They work in all conditions, you can get them in all different species and colors, so therefore, not only am I most confident using them, I'm also confident that they're the best all around lures.

Bass are the top sporting fish in the world but if your looking for the best eating fish I would go with the walleye or large perch(same family)

In clear water, with a blue sky overhead, try a fairly dark coloured plug or jerkbait, along the lines of those you would use pike fishing. You can also try spinners, no particular kind, as they all work well on the right day. Just have a small selection of different colours and sizes. I prefer the mepps super vibrax, or the rublex ondex in sizes 4 - 6. Harris angling sell them for about £3 each, and there indesructable.\n\nIn overcast and cloudy water conditions, use the same types of lures and spinners, but opt for the ones with brighter colours. Tight lines

Ebay can kind of give you a ballpark idea.  Older vintage WOOD lures are big bucks!  Do a search on the internet for antique or vintage lures and examples of most will come up.  DO NOT CLEAN THEM!!!!!!!!! If you have the original boxes that they came in the value goes up.  If you have photos of them you can email me the photo and I can do some research for you.  kbwed@yahoo.com

Try Maggotdrowning (The UK's No.1 freshwater fishing messageboard): http://www.maggotdrowning.com\n\nAlso Amazon, where you can buy a copy of "John Wilson: Baits & Artificial Lures" which is absolutely packed with information on it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0752219294/qid=1148527855/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_0_4/202-1803687-5659022

What you use for crappie and panfish sounds good to me.  Are you talking about white bass?  Or those hybrid stripers?  A 1/4 oz sounds good for those too.

Niether!  They are both gimmick lures that have very low catch ratio's.  Save your money and get some YUM dingers.  You will catch way more fish, like bass, than with either of the lures you mentioned.  Tight lines.

Bass fishing is much better.

Yea, I've got the link right here but your going to have to outbid me on a few things if you want them bad enough. A lot more hooks at a much better price at:\nhttp://sporting-goods.listings.ebay.com/Fishing_Terminal-Tackle_W0QQsacatZ31704QQsocmdZListingItemList\n\nThey have some great deals right now so you better jump right on it. I think they have a few 20 packs that I'm going to try to get my hands on.

D Pole,\n\nI don't know exactly how to answer this question.  I've been an avid bass fisherman my entire life.  I think the best thing for you to do is to repost w/ a little more detail.  What is the clarity of the water?  What is the temperature of the water?  Are you fishing on a lake or in a pond?  Is there a lot of cover or are you fishing underwater structure?  Those are just a few of the things needed in order to accurately answer your question.\n\nHowever, if you're just looking to go out and try to catch a bass, I suggest a few lures.\n\nFirst, The plastic worm.  I'm fond of solid black, june bug, and tomato.  I always use ZOOM trick worms and finesse worms, but you are more than welcome to choose whichever one you feel best with.  To go a little more in depth, I'd texas rig it this time of year.  That is where you put a bullet weight right above the hook (I'd use a 2/0 Gamakatsu EWG Worm Hook).  Then you put the worm on the hook and cast into cover and just pop it along the bottom.  When you feel the fish hit initially, give him slack and when he starts to swim off w/ the bait, set the hook and enjoy.\n\nNext, the spinnerbait.  White or Chartruese or any combination of the two are deadly.  There are many different types of blade combinations you can choose, but that's another story.  Cast the spinnerbait near trees, underwater points, secondary points, pretty much anywhere.  You can slow roll it (steady reel) or do a stop/go method.  You can choose heavier spinner baits to cast farther and run it deeper through the water.  Lighter lures can be used to run inches below the surface of the water to catch bass when they've moved up in warmer water and are feeding heavily in the pre spawn period.\n\nIf you need anything else, don't be afraid to ask.

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.

Appears to be good Bass fishing.\n\nWe always scope out a new place and ask the people fishing what they're catching and with what.  Also, a local bait store is good for info too.  Sometimes local tourist bureaus have a fishing report posted.\n\nHave a great time
