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

I live in ILL as well, I catch them using corn and nightcrawlers.  If they are spawning snag them with a treble hook.

Probably the best bait would be large black lug and squid. Use a pully rig.First cut a lenght of shock leader approx 2ft.Tie a weight clip on the end ,then slid a bait clip above it a peice of silicon rubber holds it in place.Follow it with a bead then a large swivel another bead goes on next. Tie a overhand knot to form a loop.To this tie a length of nylon about 18ins long use two hooks pennel style,they need to be large hooks2/0 say.The swivel fixes to your shock leader. When you bait up use 2 or3 lug and a peice of squid to tip off .Put the hook onto the bait clip,the weight of the lead will hold it in place.When this hits the water any slack line will make the hook fall away. This time of year the main speices will be cod.These fish have big mouths so a big bait is needed. Hope this goes some way to helping you out.Tight lines.

Their are plenty of websites out there that explain how to use certain lures( crankbaits,jigs,spoons,spinnerbaits,ect.) and plastics (worms,crawls,and anything plastic) you need to figure out what species of fish you are going to target and then look up fishing for that particular type of fish you are trying to catch. You can go to basspro.com or cabella's,com and look for tips and that would probably get you started also try searching the web for "how to catch" whatever type of fish your trying to catch, you'll probably get alot of sites and you would have to pick from them. Their are alot of species to fish fresh water and it's pretty hard to narrow it down much. If your looking for bass fishing I can probably help you out quite a bit, I'm leaving for a Tournment on the Potomac River in the morning and won't be back until Sunday. Just rember a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. Hopefully I can be some help to you, I fish trout also and catch some pike on occasion, not really a choice but they are fun to catch.

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

First, get yourself some Pinfish or Blue Runners. Kingfish like live bait.\n\nHook the blue runner through the nostril, and run a "Stinger" line just past the tail and put a treble hook on it. Kingfish attack from behind, and you want the first bite to set the hook. Now just troll wherever the Kings are running, and hope for the best.

I fish up in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  It's wilderness type country.  I fish in the spring, because while it's often cool- NO!darned cold, I avoid all the bugs.  The fishing is usually GREAT.  Northern pike, walleyes, perch, trout, and muskies.  You can usually catch enough that IF you kept all you catch, the weight would sink the boat.  We camp.  But, there are lodges.  You see eagles, beavers, bears, and moose.  You'll often see the "Northern Lights"  You'll hear loons, which to me IS, the sound of the North.  If you are seeking a wilderness fishing trip, you won't beat Canada, unless you go to Alaska.  I'd be happy to provide specific info, if you wish.

A big Zara Spook, or a big spinner bait with at least a colorado blade. Big minnows or a small yellow perch would probably do well also.

minnows are really good bait for just about anything that swims bass,crappie,catfish walleye trout carp,pike but try  rooster tails ,road runners jigs with minnows on it

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!

If you are actually serious about your question….\n\nHunting Whitetail deer is actually quite complicated.  Whitetails are master at adapting to various environments.  What tactics that might work in the Northern Woods of Canada, Minnesota, and Wisconsin won’t work to well out in the Rocky Mountain and Plains states.\n\nTactics also change with weaponry.  If you are hunting with a bow or a handgun, you need to be within 50 yards or so of a deer.  If you are hunting with a rifle or muzzleloader, the distance you need to be a deer is limited to the cartridge you are firing, how far you can see, and how accurately you can shoot.\n\nTo give a quick summary, there are two main methods of hunting whitetails:\n\n1.Ambush methods:  This typically involves staying in one place and waiting for a deer to walk within the kill zone.  I would also classify “deer drives” as an ambush method.  Many people employ treestands and bunker type setups for this kind of hunting.  Additional tools such as deer scents, deer calls, and decoys (deer and turkey being the most commonly used for deer) can be a great benefit in getting a deer into the kill zone and/or in a position where you can comfortably take it with the weapon you are using.  The trick in this method is learning where to set up so you will see and/or attract a deer to within shooting range.\n\n2.Spot & Stalk methods:  The spot & stalk methods is just like it sounds, see a deer and move undetected to within shooting range of the deer.  This can be used in combination with an ambush method, you can walk through the woods until you see a deer, or you can follow tracks and hope to catch up.  This method is quite difficult and can require a vast amount of land to do successfully.  Personally, I have been deer hunting 17 years and I am still bad at this method.  This method works best in areas with dense cover where you can move undetected, though it is required in Plains and open areas where a deer is outside of shooting range and you need to get closer.\n\nI would recommend reading the book “Hunting Big Whitetails: Tactics Guaranteed to Make You a More Successful Whitetail Hunter” by Bruce Nelson.  This is the best hunting book I have read on whitetail hunting.  You can find it on Amazon.com.\n\nGood luck and welcome to the world of hunting.

Well unless you hit the jackpot of knowing someone who knows someone, who has this friend that has this cousin...... lol.... But anyhow... what you may want to do is shift to skill.  There are alot of clinics here in NC sponsored by NC Fish and Wildlife.  At alot of those clinics, you will also find people who own thier own ponds.  That gives you a two way venue.... you can work on improving your angling skills and meet people who may have thier own ponds.\n\nGenerally unless you talk to people who live near where you are... it's a no dice game. You can also take a "Sunday Drive" around your area... when you see a pond that looks like it may have potential.... stop and ask.  The worse thing that can happen is that they say no.  I have done it lots of times and it has paid off well over the years.\n\nGood luck and Happy fishing!!
