Hi everyone,
I recently was able to retire in Southern California. We live close to a couple of lakes and I fish for Bluegill and Bass. I am fairly new to fishing, know how to feed the fish my bait well.
I did have a question about bait for both Bluegill and Bass. I use larvae now and catch a lot of bluegill. I would like to use artificial since the wife won't bait her hook.
Also the lakes here are at max 15-19 feet deep and in most spots I fish they are less than 10 feet. I do want to try and catch some decent bass and a fisherman that has fished the lake for a long time told me to use Rattle shard? He had caught 4 good size bass that night, one up to 6 lbs. Suggestions?

For the bluegill, you can use a number of little jigs and flies. Little guys with feathers, and there are some
little rubber worm like jigs to put on a hook. These can be casted out and retrieved or used with a bobber.
For the bass, you can use rubber worms, rattle trap, rapalas, spinner baits. The list goes on, someone
else will chime in too. Good luck.

It is also known as a curly tail jig. Very popular in this area for smallmouth and crappie
