it depends on what the fish are doing. sometimes they are on topwater. if so i would use a rooster tail or crainkbait. if they are on the bottom fish with a plasticorm with red tail. they’ll bite. I allways start with a rooster tail but these are the hardest to use. in all situations you should know how to use the specific bait. if prefomed wrong the fish will not bite. if using live bait use a minnow never worms. worms will attract catfish and brim.

I like using medium sized rapalas. Blue or yellow usually works well. Crawlers are good, but I dont like messing with them all day. It depends on the day and weather, sometimes poppers work well, some days diving lures, some days buzzbaits, but in my opinion a rapala is always a good way to go.

There are a number of factors used to determine the best lures and there are as many opinions as there is lures. Your best bet if you want to make it fun for the kids is night crawlers and a float. This way the kids won’t have to constantly be casting and working the lures.
If you check out ESPN on Saturday and Sunday Mornings tere are about a dozen fishing shows on with all kinds of information. Good luck but above all have fun.

good old fashoned NIGHT crawlers work the best and are cheeper to loose…
here is a tip for catching the most fish…
dont touch the bait with your bare hands.. the fish can smell your scent on them and wont bite it…
when i went fishing with my dad he thought i was nuts cause i took 2 flat shale rocks with me and hooked the worm with a stick (twig) i took with me and placed it on the rock and then worked the worm in to the hook using the rocks..
i always caught more fish that he did…lol
also dont waste your money on those bait scents… its stupid
cheers
