Ryan asked:


I am going fishing where Bass, Walleye and Northern Pike are. What kind of hard bait or soft bait should i use? Or would i be better of buying Gulp Alive or Powerbait? Could you leave links to where i could see these baits.

As far as I know, all of those fish will hit spinnerbaits.

hey, i am a heavy fisherman i go every day of my life over the summer when school is out,if your gonig for bass and other large game fish use large canadian brightcrawler,they are worms but alot bigger.i personaly do not use live bait unless i am pan fishing because in a tournement it would not count,plus what is so fun about casting a hook with a worm on it and lettign it sit their and watching a boober go under the water???? the real fun is casting and realing in with a lure. some of my perfered lures like rubber worms,slugos,dare devil sppons and hank parker spinners, i always catch a pike on a red and white daredevil when i go fishing in braddocks bay,rochester new york,my biggest is 47 pounds and was 52 inches long. If you are gonig for carp, i almost broke a state record the record was 50 pounds 4 ounces i cought a 50 pound in round pond rochester new york,i was angling for pike with a jig,insitead i got a fight that lasted 1 hour and 10 minutes.

First, try doing a search for all local bait shops and get some live minnows. They are the best. Do not get fancy when rigging them. Just put a hook at the end (Circle C hooks are the best), and hook the minnow from the end of the tail where the muscle is. I usually hook two of them, one alive and one smashed and bloody.

Second, I reccomend the Gulp Alive buckets of minnows. The look injured in the water when you flick the rod. Ise offset hooks for that set up. You can find them at bassproshops.com or cabelas.com
