Hello all. Happened to find this site. Hope to get some help for some fishing. I go to local small lake and catch stocked rainbow trout. Accidently caught a large mouth bass last year with a worm. Wife loved the taste so now i have to go try and get some bass vs. trout.

So need help on what to use for bait, how to tie onto line etc. I have never used lures before so no idea how to tie.

Grew up in Iowa and fished using worms only for catfish, walleye, pike, and of course CARP LOL.

So need some help and guidance. Located in Silverdale WA now and getting close to retiring.

Hope i can get some pointers here.

Tube bait my favorite is pumpkinseed tan speckled. I use real live worms threaded on hook inside tube bait...smallest tube bait can get. for small mouth bass. I put a fish oil gel pill in the worm container for a day or two before going. put fish oil up inside tube before the worm...so it gets trapped and will put off scent for a longtime.... use a foot or three leader with lead above swivel so if fish bites it the lead will slip. use pretty good size HIGH quality hooks. check sharpness of hook on regular basis. it should poke into your thumbnail and not slip in any direction. if it slips in any of 360 degrees. it is not sharp enough. fish may bite from any angleā€¦. you want it to stick into them not scratch surface and get spit out like tobacco... :)
