#1 - Fishing Worms: Nothing beats a good ole' plump earthworm freshly dug from your garden for getting instant and repeated strikes, as long as you keep them fresh. Almost as good, and in some instances better, are the plastic packaged kind when used with jigs. I give real worms the advantage here because, well, wouldn't you sense something different about a plastic person if it walked by?
#2 - Bass Jigs: Bass spend a good portion of their time in cover or near natural protection where they pay close attention to the bottom for food. A Bass jig, properly sized and bouncing just right, makes it extremely hard for a bass to ignore. Getting them out of cover to simply look at the lure is a feat unto itself but when you get the bouncing just right each hop screams "eat me, eat me" and they

My family fishes on a dock, but many people fish on a boat out on the water. Fishing can also vary with the type of bait used. My family uses live bait, but there are other types of baits and lures that fisherman use, such as worms or rubber lures. The bait used depends on the type of fish you’re fishing for and the type of water you’re fishing in.

It is the most popular freshwater game fish and many strive to catch one that is monster-sized. “Only ten percent of the water at any given time possesses the combination of ideal characteristics, and in that ten percent of water is where the majority of bass will be” (The Behavior and Habits of Largemouth Bass). The bass will often be found at the bottom of the body of water which often is that ten percent, whether that bottom is at a few inches or as deep as 100 feet. Although they cannot always have clear water with abundant vegetation, they still continue to survive and reproduce. As the year progresses, and the season changes, the largemouth bass will continue to be affected both positively and negatively, changing all of their habits.

In the magazine Fly Fisherman there was an article that gave a great tip. Their tip is “Try not to move your arm or wrist like a windshield-wiper blade. Instead, your
The types of fish that are available will vary with each type of location and conditions and the person manning a small fishing supply can also give you a quick orientation of what you'll need to catch the most common game in the area you expect to spend time at.

Depending on what you are trying to catch, using the right fishing line for the job can turn the experience from a frustrating struggle to something a little more enjoyable.
