Since I don't know what you are fishing, or the rules of where you are fioshing, I can't provide info specific to what you need. I have found that overall, my best results come from nightcrawlers. As good as artificial lures and bait can be, there is something about them that I have always had a problem with. They can be very successful, but some are just crap, and you really need to know what you are doing when you buy them. I have fished areas where fish go crazy for nightcrawlers but scoff at fake bait. Also, I would recommend using barbed hooks unless prohibited, especially in tournatment, because they tend to stick better to the fish. Thus the fish has less chance of coming free.Personally, I also find it better to use kit heavier than you need. I use a reel stocked with 15 pound test for all of my fishing know. Chances are, you will be needing sinkers or weights as well. I would caution against lead, as lead can harm you, the water, the fish, and can be a pain to set up. I enjoy Ultra Steel Bullet Weigts. They are stainless steel alloy, they don't need to be pinched, and they suppo
 ly make better noise than other sinkers. As a personal preference, I would use a link between the hook and line. It is a lot easier to switch/ change hooks/ jigs with one, and it provides a point to attach line to the rod when in transit or storage, to prevent tangling. []With bobbers I prefer the greenish color and orange ones opposed to the red/ white ones, but that is my personal choice and I found they work equally welll where they are needed. [  ]The best advice I can give is to chat with people at the lake. Chances are they will know the water pretty good.[ ]Good Luck![cool] [signature]

I'm assuming your fishing Bass since your user name is bassrdude.
During early fall most Bass are feeding shad in the shallower staging areas running silver colored crankbaits should work out, top water action should be good and even in deeper water but fishing it closer to the top. [signature] |
