Lure Of Choice

What is the lure of choice when out casting or trolling or Bobber or bottom fishing for fish.

PIKE, well i like the dare devil for pike because you can control the cast better when trying to place it were you need it.

Bass, i don't fish for them very often but when i do i like the simple leach on a hook under a bobber.

Panfish, Nothing better than a worm under a bobber on a colored hook, or a minnow for the crappie under a bobber.

Cats, I have to say that i like the simple slip sinker setup when fishing for the cat fish but am going to experiment this summer with other setups i have read about. fact i have a few setups that a good friend sent me to try and i am for sure going to give them a try.

So many choices

Bass: Depends on the time of the year. YUM Dinger early in the year, jig-n-pig a bit later. Rebel Pop-R is a lot of fun when they'll hit it.

Pike: Tough to beat a spinnerbait.

Panfish: Don't fish for them all that much, but a worm is tough to beat.

Channel cats: Slipsinker rig with a dead shad.

Flathead cats: Slipsinker rig with a live bullhead

Walleye: I don't fish for them much, so I don't have a favorite.

Smallmouth Bass: i like a 3 1/2 inch Strike King Tube (mustard colored) on a 3/0 EWG Gamakatsu Hook with a 1/8 oz bullet weight !!!

Largemouth Bass: i like a 3/8 oz Black Buzzbait or a Rapala SR5 Shad Rap Black and Foil colored

Crappie: a 2 inch Yellow grub on a 1/16 oz jighead !!

Pike: A Rapala Husky Jerk Blue and Chrome

Channel Cats: standard slip rig with A piece of cut shad on a 4/0 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook

Flathead Cats: standard slip rig with a 4-6 inch live creek chub on a 8/0 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook

For smallmouth it's hard to beat jig n pig or rebel crawdad
For largemouth iv'e had the best success on a plastic worm, blue or purple

Crappie.Has to be a minnow..I don't think anything can beat them ...

Bream..Red worms....

Bass...Shiners under bobber...

Cats..bream

trout---- trout magnets
lm bass----- live shiners
flat head catfish----live shad or moons eye or blue gill,gold fish,or basically ne other small bait fish

For bream I like to use red worms with a float fishing in the brush.

For crappie I like minnows with a slip float and stop knot so I can make long cast an I also like
minnows fishing dead line around bridge pylons.

For blue and flathead I like the carolina rig with 8/0 circle hook and cut bait.
