I would have to agree to Markus, try soft plastics.  I caught a 5 lb largemouth on a YUM 4inch "dinger", it's like a senko type stick worm.  I actually let the line loose, and held the worm in my hand, and threw it up into the air.  I found that a certain "kerplunk" made the bass hit the worm like it was going out of style.  I was night fishing in a heavy pressure, over-fished lake in western Pa.  If it is rather hot, I would try a YUM 7 inch ribbontail worm.  They produce great strikes from some nice bass. I would have to suggest a slow retrieve with a few little jerks to make the tail flutter very fast.  It almost imitates a snake.    Of all bass lures, I am the most confident using soft plastics.  As always, keep your line tight when using plastics, and your rod at a 9 o'clock position.  When you feel the bass take the bait, lower the tip, reel in the slack, and set the hook with a good sweep up.  I find that in my area that watermelon is the most productive color at anytime.  I would suggest trying soft plastics in watermelon first, and then when you can use that type of worm efficiently, maybe try other colors.  Tight lines.

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

If its brownes he's after, I would recommend,on the point, black and peacock spider,blea and black,coachman,mallard and claret,peter ross and silver butcher.For nympth patterns use pheasant tail,stickfly and shrimp. Middle fly needs to be flashy ie,dunkeld wickhams fancy.Top fly needs to be a bushy fly that you can dibble across the surface waves like red palmer or zulu.In summer a small muddler works wonders.Small single dries will work in late evening.If fishing from the bank dont cast to far,try to fish at 45 deg in front and work your way along the bank.Dont forget to keep the rod up .Brown trout take from below and will not chase a fly like rainbows.As the fish will manly small its best to use light gear no5/6 weight lines a long rod is useful about 10ft it is also long enough to use on a boat. Hope this goes some way to helping you out  only wish I could be with him as well.Best of luck and tight lines.

Fire-flies have an Enzyme called Luciferase, and a compound called Luciferin is the substrate of this enzyme. when the enzyme acts upon this substrate and degrades it, flshes of light are produced. this phenomenon is called bioluminiscence. \nA more professional approach:\nFireflies or lightning bugs make light within their bodies. This process is called bioluminescence and is shared by many other organisms, mostly sea-living or marine organisms. Fireflies light up to attract a mate. To do this, the fireflies contain specialized cells in their abdomen that make light.\n\nThe cells contain a chemical called luciferin and make an enzyme called luciferase. To make light, the luciferin combines with oxygen to form an inactive molecule called oxyluciferin. The luciferase speeds up the reaction, which occurs in two steps:\n\n   1. The luciferin combines with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is found in all cells, to form luciferyl adenylate and pyrophosphate (PPi) on the surface of the luciferase enzyme. The luciferyl adenylate remains bound to the enzyme:\n\n      luciferin + ATP -------------> luciferyl adenylate + PPi\n\n   2. The luciferyl adenylate combines with oxygen to form oxyluciferin and adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Light is given off and the oxyluciferin and AMP are released from the enzyme's surface:\n\n      luciferyl adenylate + O2 -------------> oxyluciferin +AMP + light\n\nThe wavelength of light given off is between 510 and 670 nanometers (pale yellow to reddish green color). The cells that make the light also have uric acid crystals in them that help to reflect the light away from the abdomen. Finally, the oxygen is supplied to the cells through a tube in the abdomen called the abdominal trachea. It is not known whether the on-off switching of the light is controlled by nerve cells or the oxygen supply.

I have tried this exact thing out of curiosity and found that it did not work.  The reason given as to why it would work was that the water acts as a lens and causes the light to be reflected around the area under treatment.  the flashing light is supposed to keep flies away.  I guess my flies just hadn't read the book on this method of repelling flies because it did not work. I even tried using several bags of water.... no luck.  My evaluation of this idea is that it is a bunch of bologna.  Just another urban myth.  Maybe the guys on Mythbusters will do an experiment with this idea.

wow there is so many. Lets start with trout: Small spinners are obvious, salmon eggs are great, i have also ( believe it or not ) had excellent success with cut bait. you can also buy the artificials at local bait shops or even walmart.\nCats: Great success with chicken liver. Night crawlers, if you can find crawfish tails they also work well, you can try the stink bait if you want . I havent had good success and i cant stand the smell. Good luck, hope thi helps in he future.

i know for the white bass and large mouth and walleye if any!!! id for sure try a bullet blade (there called alot of different things... the ones i got were called Zonars) !!! ,,,  http://www.in-fisherman.com/reference/weekly_tip/IFD_tip_FreshwaterDrumA.jpg  ... in the picture its the lure on the top left looks just like the pic pretty much... i was just introduced to those this year by a random fisherman who was pulling them out left and right using one... and saw i was having no luck... i was using twisters.. rapalas.. live bait... all of the above.. and i finally ran over to the bait shop and picked up a few of these and nailed white bass and large mouth in the same spot i wasnt catching them B4..but the picture is what they look like not sure what there called in ur local bait shop.. but they were killer... Ive found out that white bass LOVE Silver!!!

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

The trap should have two block valves, a vent and a drain valve.\n\nClose the two block valves. Open the vent valve to relieve the pressure and then the drain valve to remove any liquid. Opening the drain valve first can cause the pressure from the trap to stir up any dirt and rocks that might be in the area causing a spark and possible fire. \n\nYou should also have on hearing protection when this is done because the noise from the vent valve can be quite high.\n\nLeave the vent and drain valve open while you remove the end closure.

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

Okay here goes.First thing you need is great insect repellent to spray yourself completely to keep the nasty bugs away.Buy the strongest sun screen to protect your skin.Wear a hat to ward off sun/heat stroke.Buy 6 bottles of water and a cooler with ice to keep them cold.Make yourself some snack foods for lunch and for the munchies.I also brought hand wipes to clean the worm gunk and fish smell off my hands.Buy a cheap but good rod and real with a small tackle box filled with all the little goodies you may need.Remember above all if the fish is smaller than your hand throw the poor thing back into the water so it can grow some more.

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.

you might want to try dawn or dusk hours depending on the heat. soft plastics minnows or crankbaits for bass and spinners or live bait for trout.....try a slip sinker about 16 inches from you hook with a small split shot to hold it from sliding down then use half a mini marshmallow twords the eye of the hook then tip it with about 8 to 12 maggots might want to use a size 6 hook.. the marshmallow keeps the maggots up and out of the vegitation you can chage your depths with the small split shot. it also works with meal worms..

Planaria are very sensitive to light. They feed in darkness. If they stay in light too much it overloads their simple sensory system and they can't function very well.
