Recommended Lures and Bait:
Largemouth Bass-
Underwater: Spinnerbaits (like Mepps), Plastic worms (work better
in Southern than Northern lakes), Jig N'Pig, Crankbaits.
Topwater: Jitterbug, Zaraspook, Baby Torpedo.
Live bait: shiners, nightcrawlers, frogs, minnows.
Trout-
Spring and summer find insects hatching and dry and wet flies are
used to match these insect hatches which include mayflies,
midges (all year), and caddis. Nymphs also get trout. You can
find appropriate nymphs by examining stream bottom insect life.
Other lures include spinners (like Mepps), streamers, spoons (like
Daredevils), and plugs (more applicable to slower waters).
Live bait includes worms, salmon eggs, and minnows.
Walleye-
Jigs (and attached live bait - keep line taught as you jig up and
down).
Lindy Rigs used with live bait have a sliding sinker which allows
fish to take bait and swallow it before hook is set.
Slip Bobbers which allow live bait presentations with a bobber to
the deeper water walleye holes. (Regular bobbers are good only
in shallower waters).
Other lures such as spinners and crankbaits.
Live bait includes minnows, nightcrawlers, and leeches.
Walleyes inhale bait softly and you only may feel a light tap on
line - leave open bail and hold line loosely with index finger.
Many experts recommend yellow lures which work in any color water.
In murky water white or phosphorescent may work better; in clear
water dark color lures may produce better; at night phosphorescent.
General-
Lures giving off vibrations or sound may work better in murky or dark
waters (or at night) allowing the fish to feel or sense the bait and
where it is since he cannot see it well. A steady retrieve may allow
fish to zoom in on bait easier.
In clear lakes use less flashy spinners (perhaps painted ones are
better) since to much flash scares fish; in murky or muddy waters use
more flash). In normal waters use average flash.
Bright color lures may work better in murky or muddy waters.
