Ruth asks…
What is the best bait for Largemouth Bass?
We are going camping this weekend, and for the first time we will be trying for largemouth bass. What is the best bait to catch them with? Is it much harder then going for channel cat? I haven’t fished for a couple of years, but the last time I did was in the Rockies fly fishing and I caught a nice trout. If I could handle that I am thinking I can do this!!
Thanks!

My bait of choice is no doubt a wight less 6″ senko or tiki man brand finesse worm in a natural worm color, with a 2 to 3 inch red hook. This bait have worked wonders for me when all else fails, it’s a great bait for summer, and during the spawn, and the reason for 6″ is beacuse if they don’t hit it just bite a half inch off and keep going until you get to the length the want it at.
Favorite rod and reel is a M to ML spinning Quantum 7′ footer for long casts, and 17lb Sufix siege mono, 12lb to 30lb power pro braid for and a 14lb fluorocarbon leader when I’m using the senko, and some good ‘ol Cajun red line!
As for hooks, I like a thin wire hook by eagle claw weed less of true turn, so you can penetrate the fishes mouth more easily.
I always carry around with me some Carolina Lunker Sauce Freshwater Pro-Series Fish Attractant, for that extra bite.
