Large daredevil spoons I remove treble and put one weedless single hook on mine,and 9 to 12 inch long wooden lures with small diving lip that resemble Rapalas and big ol mouse pattern on a Fly rod works great.

Start looking for Stripers around the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd breakwater nearest the dam. Stripers like to stay “just” out of the current waiting for a tasty morsel to swim by. (Where current meets “slower” water is called a breakwater.)Where I come from, (Jacksonville, Fla), we use large 1/2-1 OZ wide-gap jigs with 5-6″ curly-tailed grubs, 1/2-1 OZ Spoons with a 6″ fresh strip-bait as a trailer and large swim-baits such as a 6″ Storm Wild-eye Swim Shad. In J-ville, cold, rainy, miserable weather with overcast skys and low light levels always seemed to be when Stripers decided to turn on. Try fishing very early moring and late evening into night. Colors that work well: Chartreuse, White, White/Red head, “Glow” greens and Reds. A good way to get Stripers “turned on” is with a large Spook Jr or Super Spook topwater lure retrieved in a “walk the dog” fashion. Topwater lures can sometimes “intrigue/inspire” Stripers to start on a feed. Cast a TW for 20-30 minutes and then switch over to your Jigs, Spoons & Swimbaits.Make sure to dowse all lures with a good fish attractant! Fish attractant removes the “human scent” which fish associate with danger. If Pogy’s or Shrimp are in your fishing waters use an aersol Pogy or Shrimp spray attractant. If your in inland sweet-waters use a good Bass attractant. It only helps, and in most cases, can make the difference between catching something & catching NOTHING! Hope this gives you some ideas? Good luck fishin’!

I think that the vast majority of Walleye caught are caught on bottom bouncing rigs using small jig tipped with a minnow or a glob of worms, its easy and it works although I always wear one red sock and one white one it works for me

I am a sucessful Alaskan trapper.Trapping is a whole world to itself. Generally, you want to avoid using bait, scents and lures in the begining. The young yearling animals are easy to get – these you spot by looking for tracks – then tend to walk in the same place and step in the same foot print – so this is where you trap them.After a few weeks – all the young ones are eiether caught, moved on, are smartened up. Now, you break out the scents. It helps if you are a bird hunter. Doesn’t matter if it is grouse, duck or even pidgeons. After you have salvaged the breast meat – put all the feathers, body, wings etc in plastic bags. Come trapping season – you spread the feather out to mimic a kill site around the hidden trap – this is great for getting them to come off the trail and into your set.Sometimes you want to keep it all sterile. Sometimes taking 3 day old deep fried chicken and smearing it all over the trap and leave some small pieces out works. Fried Chicken – that nasty stuff Banquet sells for $4 a box in the fozen foods section – that works awesome when all else fails. You need to cook it and let it sit over night. Yeah, you can snack on it too……….. It’s the fat that gets them. Once they get a taste of the fatty coating on the chicken, they will tear all hell apart to find the rest. Be sure to leave out lots of free sample and don’t be stingy. They chew up the bones for the marrow and swallow it all. Read up. There is lots to learn. Go visit Funke Trap Tags and Lures online. That is where I buy all my stuff from.If you have questions – you can email me.Good luck.

Snappers are deep water fish and live bait or small chunks of fresh dead baitfish work much better than lures but if you must use lures use white jigs with white deerhair tail and red thread holding deer heair on the white jig, be sure and use a heavy jig or it takes forever to sink down to bottom of Davy Jones Locker

Try a large jointed solid black jitterbug at midnight to 4 am

Baits:Live crayfish.Live minnows.Live gobies.Live sculpins.Smallmouth like their food live.Lures:Hair or marabou jigs fished on the Float ‘N’ Fly rig.Plastic tube baits.Plastics imitating a crawdad.Plastics imitating a goby or sculpin.
December 17th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
ONE bait to catch ALL these species???only one thing will fill that bill.a NIGHTCRAWLER. you can add another dozen or more species to that list. many fish will fall to a well placed ‘crawler.

Up here in south-central Alaska, we are consistently catching our limits of rainbow trout using small jigs baited with small shrimp or salmon eggs. I’d bet my best rod and reel it would work as good for you in Nova Scotia or any of the other provinces. Give it a try and keep the pan hot and handy. You’re going to have a fish fry.

For the Crappie, it’s not all that difficult. I’ve never once been Crappie fishing and not caught them throwing a simple Crappie Jig. You just rig these up on a small jig head along with a floater. With the water being warm, I would start out fishing fairly deep, although deep is different depths in different waters due to some waters being deeper than others. Generally, I start off fishing about 3 feet down in warm water. If you’re not getting hits with 3 feet, up it to maybe 3 and a half and so on until you start getting hits. It’s a little more difficult for the Bass. They tend to be a lot more picky when it comes to what they wil hit and what they won’t. In warm water, they will moce down deeper as the day progresses. If you’re fishing mid day, you’ll probably want a bit of a deeper diving bait. Maybe consider slow rolling spinnerbaits, medium to deep diving crankbaits, Texas Rigged plastics Rattle Traps, and jigs. One of those should interest the Bass. If you’re fishing morning and evening hours, it’s a bit different. Bass will move up into the shallower water durring these times and feed heavily. Good morning and evening baits to consider are top water lures and shallow running lures. Bass primarily feed on shad and minnows durring these times so shad imitations are a good bet. A shallow running Rattle Trap is one of my favorite lures to throw when the fish are shallow.your colors depend on the water conditions. If you’re fishing in clear water, throw lighter and more natural colors, like a Shad color for instance. Whites are also good in clear water. If you’re fishing stained water, keep your colors on the darker side. Crawfish, Pumpkinseed, blacks, and blues are all good. Finally, if the water is muddy, throw brightly colored baits. Chartruese seems to be the color of choice in these conditions for many Bass fisherman, along with myself.

live bait is best.anchovies, even frozen always work in the ocean.10 lb test is minimum. more if off piers and you need to lift the fish that much.when you get home, wash your gear. place your rod and reel on the grass and hose it down. better to soak it completely then to leave salt behind.same for a boat and any other gear you use.

I would go with a large spinner bait/rapala or spoon in that order.

Flounder Catching’Don’t know if it will help, but flounder are both scent and sight feeders. Yes, you can catch them on artificial. The water must be in decent shape and you have to let them “have the bait” for a few seconds before setting; the hook. My fave artificial baits for flounder include 1) Triple Chance spoon, gold, 1/4 oz. You cannot fish this in the wind. Has to be still or with the wind. 2) Small yellow twin-tail plastics (Any color may do but rig it on a 1/8 oz jig head, 1/4 if having difficulty casting). 3) Live shrimp and/or MudMinnows (don’t know what these are called on the East Coast) will also work. Think about how a flounder strikes. She sits on the bottom waiting on an ambush. Your bait must be worked within distance and the flounder will rise up, gather the bait in their narrow, toothy mouth and will not take it in until they settle back to the bottom. I do not pursue them as much these days but that is how we used to do it. Slow everything down. Their are also “runs” in the spring and fall down here. Always triggered by changes in water temp. The fall run is the best. the D.O.A. shrimp are the best artificial lures for speckled trout and redfishHere is more info-My first choice on jigs is a red head, quarter ounce jig coupled white grub tail. This is a good all around bait for either species. This rig when spiced up with a small piece of dead shrimp on the hook is extremely effective. It can be worked in water as deep as five to six feet or as shallow as twelve inches. However, to fish this rig in twelve inches, you will have to increase the rate of your retrieve to keep the bait from snagging on the bottom. There are a number of jigs that are available that are rigged weedless. Besides the basic white, it’s always good to have a couple of other colored tails available, such as pink, yellow, green, smoke and root beer. I have found that when the water is clouded, yellow tends to produce better than white. I recommend to switch colors as water clarity and conditions change. While we are on the subject of plastic baits, there are a number of good alternatives available on the market. These include soft jerk baits and look-a-likes such as shrimp, small bait fish and crabs. There is one distinctive advantage to using jerk baits such as the Berkely Power Baits, they can be rigged totally weedless. And for those of us who haven’t mastered the art of pin point casting, this is a major plus. Also, don’t forget the bucktail jigs. Bagley and Key Largo baits produce some fantastic bucktail jigs. One of my favorites is a brown flathead jig that is rigged weedless that has the appearance of a small crab or shrimp. We recently used this jig while filming a show and produced a number of redfish. In fact, the guide couldn’t believe that the redfish ate these jigs and wouldn’t touch a live shrimp. Anyway, I could probably spent the next year talking about jigs, but let’s move along.

My top 3 choices in order of preference are1. Tady C iron in either the black, red, and white pattern, or a black, purple, and white pattern. Rigged with a single hook.2. A Krocodile 11/2 – 2 Oz in either a green or blue mackerel pattern. I like to change the treble hook to a single Siwash hook, makes it much easier to release short fish.3. Fly line live bait either a Sardine or Anchovy, depending whats available. I don’t use wire leaders, just tie on to my line, usually 15#. When hooked up and fighting the fish just grind on them and don’t pump the rod, lessens the chances of getting bit off.By the way I’m fishing in So. Cal.

flipping baits are baits that you toss into or near brush some examples are a bass jig with a trailer http://www.anglingalabama.com/jig1.JPG or a creature bait http://www.landbigfish.com/images/store/swatches/NICH-CreatureB.jpgwhen you pitch you toss it under hand here is a video on how to do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBT0eZZi5k0&feature=relatedhope this helps you

Ice fishing is the best time to catch trophy walleye or as late as you can fish them before they spawn in the area you live. Early ice, usually late November through December, is the steadiest action for the big females in NW Wisconsin but the last week or so of the season, it goes until the first Monday in March, can be good also. the females need to sustain their egg production so even when it’s slow you have a chance at one that time of the year. We catch the vast majority of them on tip ups with decent size shiners or sucker minnows set about a foot off the bottom. We like to get set up an hour or so before dark and stay until we get our limit or get bored. If you don’t have any ice use slip bobbers to achieve the same basic presentation. Trolling crankbaits can be good in the summer but they will not be as big. The spring feed is fun, about a week or so after they spawn, but again they won’t be the monsters you are looking for. I have probably caught more walleye, in general, with a jig and minnow. Use smaller minnows in the spring and larger ones in the fall and winter. You will find that you catch just as many when it’s sitting on the bottom as when you are working it. My other favorite technique is to use a floating jighead on about a 2′ leader from a needle weight or some sort of bottom bouncer. Use minnows in the spring but go to leeches as soon as the water warms slighty. I caught a 10 pounder in the middle of December, it was only 29″ but had a 17 1/2″ girth. She broke off in the hole but I dug her out! If you are anywhere near the reservoirs in Tennesee or Kentucky I have heard they use bluegill rigs for the monster eyes. Just catch a decent keeper size gill and set it up on a quick set rig, with a stinger hook towards the tail. One last thing, I am a FIRM believer in fishing the full moon and new moon phases. My last 2 10 poundrs were both on the day of the full moon, on the same spot of the same lake 2 years apart. The big bite might not be right on either of those days but it will definitely be right around them, like the 2 days before to the 2 days after. Watch the major and minor times on the solunar table but weather is more important than that, in my opinion. The big dogs also seem to be more active on a dropping or low barrometer. Good luck!

Poppers and Spinnerbaits are both easy to fish. It really depends on what your fishing for. Honestly if you were going to go fishing for Bass I would highly recommend fishing a senko style stick bait. They run around $5 for a package of ten. Fish it either texas rigged or even wacky style. Its very basic to fish, just cast and retreive.Best of luck and your doing a great service by bring people fishing!
