What types of lures or bait are for what types of fish?
Just bought a new tackle box and have nothing in it. Needing to know what to get for some freshwater fishing. Don't know much about what types of fish are where, but we have lots of smaller creeks leading in to some larger lakes. Any help would be great. Thanks
beanbag,
I will try to make a list of some of the more common freshwater species of fish, along with baits and lures for these fish. Here I go ~
Largemouth Bass - Baits : minnows, bluegill, worms, crayfish. Lures : crankbaits, spinnerbaits, in line spinners, soft plastic creature baits, jigs, spoons, lip less crankbait, poppers, buzz baits, walk-the-dog style baits/AKA cigar baits, and there's probably a few more that I forgot to mention.
Smallmouth Bass - Baits : hellgrammites, minnows, worms, crayfish. Lures : refer back to "Largemouth Bass" above. Smallmouth like the same lures, just in smaller sizes.
Channel Catfish - Baits : worms, stink bait, dough bait, hot dogs, chicken liver, cheese, crayfish, minnows. Catfish are not often caught on lures.
Bluegill - Baits : worms, bread, hot dogs, crickets. Lures : in line spinners, soft plastic grubs and tubes, small crankbaits.
Carp - Baits : worms, bread, corn, crayfish. Carp don't often take lures.
Walleye - Baits : minnows, worms, leeches. Lures : crankbaits, spinner rigs tipped with a large grub or 'crawler, in line spinners, grubs or minnow style soft plastics.
Those are most of the main fish you see in lakes. A good overall set-up is a bobber, sinker, hook, and worm. You could catch about any fish I named above with that rig.
