I fish bass from a boat and from the shore. I am fishing for smallmouth and largemouth. And if any of them are good for crappies you could throw them in too. You can make one list with 5 lures or three lists for each species. Thanks.

Largemouth Bass

1.) 6" Plastic Worm, rigged texas style in grape color.
2.) White spinnerbait, preferably Booyah.
3.) Rapala Original Floating minnow in the black/gray or silver colors.
4.) Hula Popper in the frog color.
5.) Bomber Model A Crankbait.

Smallmouth Bass

1.) 3" or 4" curly tailed grub on a 1/4 oz. jig-head.
2.) White Worden’s rooster tail.
3.) Smaller size Rapala Original Floating Minnow.
4.) 4 or 6" plastic worm rigged texas style, any dark color.
5.) Booyah Pond Magic white spinnerbait.

Crappie

1.) 2" curly tailed grub on a 1/8 or 1/16 oz. jig head.
2.) Roadrunner
3.) Crappie nibbles, made by berkley.
4.) White rooster tail in 1/8 or 1/16 oz. sizes.
5.) 1/8 oz. Beetle Spin.

me and my dad seem to never have luck and we dont know if its the places we fish, our bait, or both

There are lots of good places to go. The Snake River is available, but contrary to the previous poster it is illegal to keep any sturgeon in Idaho. You can also fish at Clear Lake, there is the Big Wood River, Magic Reservoir. Check the fishing regulations for a list of other possible places.

How should i set up my Fishing Line when i go fishing at the beach and lake? Please include picture. Thank you

I don’t have a pic for you but if you are fishing on a lake and using live bait, put a splitshot sinker (a small one that you can bend open and close) on the line about 6 in. from the bottom. then put an egg sinker (a bigger, heavier one) and then another split shot sinker. Put them all next to each other on the line. then tie a hook on the bottom, and tie it a bunch of times, really good. cut off any excess line that is haning over from tying it. then you can cast it and set it on a branch or upright and watch for a bite

Big lipped, floating and diving crankbaits make it possible for anglers to search a wide area at different depths to find large and smallmouth bass. The average depth you will reach is about 6 to 9 feet with most crankbaits. But crankbaits with large lips may dive up to 20 feet.

The stop-and-go retrieve is the most effective when searching for bass. Crank the lure down with a very fast retrieve and then stop allowing it to float up. Keep repeating this to cover a wide area of water and different depths. Once you catch that first bass, fishn that depth with a nice steady retrieve for bast results.

Crankbaits with small lips and slim long bodies give you an action like live baitfish, and are very effective for shallow water fishing. Trolling or casting them above weeds or over shoals is effective. They can even mimic surface lures in calm water tease the fish with light twiching movement and slow retrieves creating surface commotion.

Sinking flat sided baits are bast for around structure where stop-and-go or pumping retrieves will keep them in contact with it. Strikes often occur right after contact with this structure. Crankbaits look great wobbling through the water, but they attract bass best when nocking on their front door. The real large lips on the larger crankbaits act as a deterent to a lot of snagging problems.

Most crankbaits are not considered weedless, often contact with weeds is needed to get that strike. When you hit the weeds use a ripping action to free it. A lot of great stikes will occur right after you rip away.

Do not use heavy heavy swivels and snaps to attach your baits this will cause the action of the crankbait to be erratic and not natural. Use a loop knot or a small snap with nop swivell to get the best action from the crankbaits, just check you knots now and again because of the stress on the baits.

There are so many new colors for baits now, use a assortment to find what colors work best for you on certain days and different water conditions. Now get oput there and catch that trophy small or lagemouth bass!
