Go to Bass Pro Shops addy, or Cabelas. They may have a pictorial on how to make these knots. \n\nThe Palomar knot is super important in fishing,(if there was 1 knot you MUST know how to tie it would be The Palomar & "Blood Knot".)

Hey, we are headed there tomorrow, awesome catches, large Red, trout, flounder and Black drum, we use live bait,  mostly mud minnows, mullet and shrimp. The trout love Ghost shrimp, but you must catch them yourself at the beach and the limit is 20. the best place to buy bait at Port Isabel is Harry's. They usually have everything. If you are boating, you can catch your bait over by the SPI Conference center (bay side) near the little canals. Lots of mullet and mud minnows.. Hey, GOOD LUCK!!!

Department of wildlife and fisheries is the way to go, but to really get a fell for the ponds stop the small bait shops in your area, ask the old guy behind the counter he will give you the best info. Seriously I grew up outside Boston and fished the South shore for years but when I moved out to central mass, I had no idea where to begin. I stopped at a little shop out on 122 I believe. And actually talked to the guy who wrote for the Telegram. Some of the best info I have received.

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.

I sell bait for a living and the best bait for catching pike is a roach especially a live one on a treble trace.\nFishing for pike is the best, enjoy it!!

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.

fishin, now thats what Im talkin bout... I reccomend usin power bait for trout, those are hard lil buggers to catch... also another thing I do before I park the boat to cast my pole, I dump a lil bit of that power bait crap right off the side of the boat Im fishin on to get em up near the boat so I can see em, then I catch one... also beef jerky is great for catching trout and catfish... hope this helps... y'all take it easy

It depends on what you are fishing for, where you are fishing at, water clarity, water temperature, barometric pressure, and the amount of pressure on the fish.\n\nWorms are always a good general bait.... minnows and brim are usually on most larger fishes diets as well.  Catfish spieces like a good bloody liver, chicken, fish or just about anything.  Walleye and Large mouth bass have very similar diets.....\n\nThere are just alot of variables.... my favorite and best producer is a 7 inch grape curltail worm.... I prefer Berkley or YUM

If your talking about Lake Jacksboro Texas, good luck.\nI caught a 5 pound bass there in 1980 around the damm on a purple with white tail creme brand worm. I dont fish there often, only when I see my Granny. Ever time I go I see people fishing for sand bass, with bomber chrome slabs.

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.

For Bass, best live baits are nightcrawlers and leeches.  No Lake Trout in NE.
