Speaking in general. Any brand and type would be appreciated!

I would like to try fishing for trout or bass, what are some good baits?

One of the most challenging to decide on when you are on a fishing adventure is what kind of ice fishing lure to utilize in different lakes. Although there are fast and easy way to determine which ice fishing lure to use on a specific lake to catch a specific fish there are still basic factors fishermen take into consideration when choosing an ice fishing lure which will surely attract the fish they want. Here are some usual choices when looking for a lure: hard bodies, spoons, fake worms and bugs and also a bait-type lures, these will allow to change from one lure to another. No matter where you fish one key type of an ice fishing lure is the jigs but this is not effective when the bottom contains a lot of vegetation and debris.

For the bigger species like pike and bass, live bait and minnows are usually the best type for this kind of fish and most experienced ice anglers will approve to this. If you are having a hard time using a live minnows in a cold temperature you can use frozen minnows, bloodworms or worms which can be bought from bait stores they are an effective addition to as stand alone bait or a lure.

Getting the fish in mood to eat the bait is one of the things an ice fisher must know. Usually the fish stays in the deeper parts of the lake because it is warmer this happens during cold, winter weathers. During this kind of climate the fish has a slower metabolism and moves slowly which affects the amount of food they eat. That is why ice anglers must be creative and smart to make their lures look striking to the fish because the fish will just pass by the bait you prepared if they are not sumptuous enough. It does not matter if you use hard bodies or spoon as bait as long as they your ice fishing lure is colorful and shiny it will surely attract the fish. When ice anglers are fishing in dark or clear waters they prefer to use colorful or even glow in the dark baits to attract fish.

In waters that has a lot of wreckage and weeds a particular ice fishing lure should be considered and as well as a jigging method. You can drop a bright colored jig in the middle of the weedbed when fishing in this kind of water. When there is are vegetation under the water place a worm or a larva on the hook and avoid any jigging motion because it will eventually hang up in the reeds, submerged logs and weeds and debris. Ice fishing lure such as spoon and tails are not effective in this kind of waters because they might end up snagging on the upper edges of the weeds which is much higher from where the fish are eating.

I do all of my trout fishing in Sierra lakes like Lake Mc Swain and Lake Mc Clure. I used powerbait but I got nothing.I used a Kastmaster and caught a 12in. trout, but lost the lure. Any suggestions for better lure?

My sister is an artist looking for older wooden fishing lures because she makes custom necklaces and bracelets and these tend to fit very well and people like them. She said that the best sized lures which she’s seen are called “poppers,” and the age of them doesn’t matter too much but most wood lures are older.
Some of them on places like E-bay seem to be in very good condition and demand a higher price, but they don’t need to be in good condition- in fact the weathered ones tend to look better. Where is a good place to find older wooden fishing lures that don’t even need to be in good condition?

I mean a full throttle pouring rain that turns the water the color of chocolate milk.

I’ve heard the Grande Rattlesnake is a good lure.

What would be a good lure, bait to use while riverfishing for trout? besides fly fishing tackle. cause im heading to the bait store then going fishing

I fish at this lake filled with hydrilla in many areas. I have found this one area where i have seen a lot of large bass cruising by. I don’t have a lure that can tough through this gunk! The Wormist has recommended some of those Rage Tail toads but i just can’t afford them at this moment. Any bait that is similar to the rage tail that will work?
If not, then what would you recommend?
