what kind of bait do you use to catch Silverfish?

Silverfish are bugs, so I would say you don't catch them as much as smash them.

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

That's a tough one.  They are persistent little critters.\n\nTry using boric acid - you can get it at any department store.  It is a powder, quite inexpensive, and harmless to humans.  Put it in any places you see signs of silverfish, along cracks in wood, etc.  We use boric acid on our sailboat and it seems to control most pests.\n\nIf you have silverfish in your kitchen cupboards try putting loose bay leaves around all the shelves and corners.  They won't kill the silverfish, but I have found that bay leaves spread around like that tend to keep most insects away.  There seems to be something about the bay leaves they don't like.  I've never used them for silverfish, but they work for ants.\n\n\nThere are special insecticides for silverfish, including Drone Dust which actually dries them out when they pass through it.  And there are things called silverfish packs.  Any powder you put down has to go in the dark places and cracks where they like to live, not out in the open - around your foundation, inside electrical outlets, around plumbing, under sinks, places liek that.\n\nThey are particularly attracted to wet, humid areas, so getting everything as dry as posible will help.  Fix any leaky pipes, maybe get a dehumidifier.  Regularly ventilate closed rooms.  VAcuum cracks with the special crevice tool regularly.  Use silica gel to help keep things dry.  Keep all food tightly covered to remove their food source.\n\nDid you do an Internet search related to this?  You might get more ideas.\n\nIf all else fails, or if you have a big problem, you might need to call an exterminator, which of course will be expensive.\n\nI hope this helps!  Good luck with it!

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.

I would go with a floating Rapala, about three inches long.  You cast it out and it floats until you reel it in.  When you start reeling it dives under water and wiggles like a minnow.  You can also use it as a top water bait by twitching it and letting it sit until the ripples die down and then twitch it again.  This works especially well early in the morning or just before dark.  Good luck.

Live bait such as minnows are the best to use, use a tip up and put the minnow down about 6 feet in 10 to 15 foot of water. Then all it is to wait sooner or later mr aligater jaws finds the minnow and you have a tasty treat

Use skein or power-bait with a #12 treble hook on a 6lb fluorocarbon leader with 1/8oz sinker and an indicater(small bober) try varios depths and allow to flow with current.\nSingle eggs or minnows on a snelled egg hook. as above.\nMaggots on a black mini-foo with split shot 2' above and indicator is my favorite.\nCasting spoons also works.\n\nhttp://steelheaduniversity.com/jigs.html

First go to your local sporting goods store, and get yourself some 4 inch and some 6 inch YUM dinger "worms".  And some YUM 7 inch ribbontail worms.  Also get a pack or 2 of Gamakatsu #2 worm hooks.  Rig both of these worms Texas style with out any wieght.  Cast near the edge of grass beds, where bass like to ambush thier prey from.  Also try flipping the worms near the shady side of underwater trees and rocks.  Keep your line taut by casting, and then raising your rod tip to get rid of the slack.  Do not reel in the line to pick up slack, because most hits will happen moments after the worm splashes into the water.  If it doesn't get an immediate strike, let the bait sink to the bottom, and then give the worm a few little tugs, as to jump the worm up about a foot off the bottom, then let it sink back to the bottom, then as it sinks again, keep your line taut, and do 1 or 2 cranks om the reel to pick up a little slack.  99% of hits will happen as the worms are falling down/ or sinking, so keeping the line taut will help you feel the hits. Bass usually don't eat worms off of the bottom.  You must also keep an eye on your line, because sometimes you won't feell the hit and your line may go to one side or the other and you'll know a bass has your bait.  When you hook a bass, be sure to reel him away from the cover, because that is right where the bass will go, and you have to be quick, or you will lose him.  After you get the bass away from the cover, let the fish wear itself out.  Then reel him in and carefully lip the bass.  DO NOT touch any part of the bass except the lip, unless you plan to eat them.  Fish have a protective enzyme that protects them from bacteria.  The slime is eaten away and removed, when you touch the bass, because of the amino acids on your skin.  Touching the bass removes this protective layer and opens the bass to bacterial and fungal infections which will kill the fish. Last night, I fished a heavily pressured lake and caught 9 bass in 3 hours. 8 largemouth and 1 smallmouth all with the YUM dinger.  On memorial day I fished a small farm pond and using the YUM ribbontail, I caught 16 largemouth in 4 hours.  It is all about presentation, so go to the site that the others have listed, the best is bass resource, which I put a link up for, and research how to best fish these worms.  I gave you my favorite and most productive methods.  Have fun and remember, tight lines.

DESCRIPTION: Silverfish are small, soft insects without wings. The abdomen has three filaments extending from it.Silverfish are not often seen by homeowners because they are nocturnal and can run very swiftly. Occasionally, they are found in bathtubs. They crawl in seeking food or moisture and can't climb out. These insects prefer vegetable matter with a high carbohydrate and protein content. However, indoors they will feed on almost anything. A partial list includes dried beef, flour, starch, paper, gum, glue, cotton, linen, rayon, silk, sugar, molds and breakfast cereals. \n\nHABITAT: Silverfish normally live outdoors under rocks, bark and leaf mold, in the nests of birds and mammals, and in ant and termite nests. However, many are found in houses and are considered a pest, or at least a nuisance, by homeowners. Usually they are found trapped in a bathtub, sink, or washbasin. \n\nLIFE CYCLE: Adults lay eggs in small groups containing a few to 50 eggs. The eggs are very small and deposited in cracks and crevices. A female normally lays less than 100 eggs during her lifespan of two to eight years. Under ideal conditions, the eggs hatch in two weeks, but may take up to two months to hatch. \n\nThe young nymphs are very much like the adults except for size. Several years are required before they are sexually mature, and they must mate after each molt if viable eggs are to be produced. Populations do not build up rapidly because of their slow development rate and the small number of eggs laid. \n\nTYPE OF DAMAGE: A household pest, they feed on cereals and non-food items such as paste, paper, starch in clothes, rayon fabrics and dried meats. \n\nCONTROL: Sanitation alone will not eliminate an infestation, although it may prevent new ones from starting. A large infestation usually means the house has been infested for some time. \n\nResidual insecticides (use an aerosol) will help to control these pests. Removing old papers, boxes, books, and clothes from the attic to basement will help remove food and hiding places. Moth crystals placed in boxes in the attic will also help.

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.

i have been using 6in pumpkin colored Zoom worms. they have worked well. in the post-spawn season, try using a wacky worm. the fish are fickle, but can't seem to resist them. buzz bates and other top water lures are working really well in the early morning hours.try using these over fallen timber.

There is no one best color in every situation. In general people fish lighter colors like watermelon or smoke in clear water and darker colors like purple and brown in dark or murky water. Metallic flake is also important in the bait. \n\nAs for the weight, try to use the smallest one you can and still get a good cast. You get better action this way. Also use wide gap hooks specifically designed for a worm.\n\nFish worms on structure, in cover, and on drop offs. Fish will be relating to this features.

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!!

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.

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