As a fishing "greenhorn" , I am currently fishing in a brackish lake infested with tonnes of fish! Striped bass, gaspereau ( alewife) , salmon, speckle/rainbow/brown , perch, and flounder. There are no pike, walleye or lake trout in this lake. I am interested in knowing some good ideas for bait. So far I have : Nightcrawlers on a treble hook, rapala crank lures, power bait, synthetic and dead preserved minnows, powerbait dough and eggs (minimal success though) and Yum! crawfish. Any suggestions on what else I could use? I bought some rooster tails and meeps lures to try out, PS (i’m trying to lunk a big bass, as a world record bass was caught in this area before). I’d like to try wet flies with a weight on a spincast rod. Any suggestions? The area is North-Eastern Cape breton, Canada.
Try a large jointed solid black jitterbug at midnight to 4 am

I was fishing off of a creek feed today in a river (6 feet deep, narrow width) and had a 24inch trout snap at my floating cricket crankbait (2"). He hit a couple of times but not enough to get a hook set. He only hit when I slowed the presentation to a near stop (twice as slow as the slowest rotation you can get on a floating rapala). It hits about 4-5 inches from the surface of the water but it just either isn’t taking my lure completely or the hooks are two small (size 12’s). Any suggestions on what lure to switch to? I could be wrong, but I think a skitter pop or topwater popper wouldn’t get down the few inches to attract the fish to hit. I am chasing a giant trout here, I appreciate any tip you can give landing this bad boy. He came within 5 feet of me chasing my slowly reeled in cricket lure and didn’t notice me. I am very slowly crawling this lure to get the fish to hit, stretching line with one hand and slowly moving it in the other. It’s the only way it’s hitting.
redheat – thanks – when they defend their territory, will they just play with the bait or completely take it?
Well, you don’t mention what kind of trout this is and what kind of water you’re fishing. Minor points, but it could be useful info.
I agree with Red — it could be just aggressive behavior with no bite. If you’re fishing in a stream for rainbow trout, then you could be encountering spawning fish who are trying to keep their redds clear of egg predators, which can include minnows, crawfish, sculpin, and other trout. Even if the rainbows are staging to spawn somewhere upstream of you, they will exhibit the same "chasey" behavior, where they chase and butt and nudge at lures without actually biting down. I once saw a big brown chase a little minnow lure into an inch or so of water — his caudal fin and back were well out of the water and he just kept after it. Whenever I fish during spawning times, I get a higher proportion of foul-hooked fish, too. If this is a spawning fish, it may be just a matter of chance as to whether the fish puts some mouth parts on the lure. It also means that you don’t have all summer to catch him — he’ll be gone within a week or even a few days.
If the fish is actually mouthing the lure, then you’ve got to calm down a little when setting the hook. With small fish, a lure or fly can be in and out of the fish’s mouth in a second, so you have to move fast but set lightly. With a big fish, you do sort of the opposite — move a little slower and set harder. I have a friend from Australia who told me his rule for fish over 18" is to say "God save the Queen!" before setting the hook. Even if you say it really fast, it can help prevent misfires.
I would definitely switch lures. Don’t worry so much about finding THE ONE right lure, just try them all. However, I would try something that swims lower and slower and looks like a baitfish. Shiny or red coloration may help. Spawning redds are down in the gravel — that’s the territory spawning a fish is defending. Staging fish hold close to the bottom to rest and feed. So, in either case, whether this big boy of yours is hungry or angry, you want to get right up in his face, and that means going lower.

Alright, so I am an avid spin-reel fisherman. The main game fish I go for is Trout, but am trying to move onto Bass (possibly Northern Pike in the future). I use a lot of basic stuff to fish for Trout, but what would I need for bass? Here’s a list of equipment I use:
Removable Split Shot (Medium)
1/8, 1/4, 1/2 Bell Weights
Eagle Claw Snells (Sizes: 12, 8, 6, 4)
Berkely Powerbait (Rainbow, Turbo Dough, Sherbert, ect.)
Roe
Line (Based on 3 Rods: 6lb Test, 8lb Test, 15lb Test (for trolling) all Trilene Dark Green)
Lures (Thomas Cyclone, trying out Kastmaster, Jake’s Lure, Panther Martin Spinners, Mepps Spinners, Deep Runners, Rattlers, Poppers, and sometimes Rapala)
Large, Medium, Small Canadian Nightcrawlers
Floats and Bobbers (don’t use often)
Swivels
Line Type: Monofilament (I have Flourocarbon but haven’t used it yet)
Eagle Claw Nitro Eggs (haven’t caught jack with yet :/)
Green Label Salmon Eggs
SO, what can I change or use more for Bass? I’m only 15, so I don’t have like a boat or things like that, though I do try to use professional sources. Any accurate answer will work, and be honest. Thanks.
buy some shiners and spinners

i’ve always thought that a fishing lure should look like what the fish are used to eating. as a bass fisherman i know that bass eat primarily other fish. that is why i tried to make a lure that resembled a fish in looks and swimming motion. this is a rainbow trout that is approx. 8″ long and slowly sinks at rest. these are stocked in California and other west coast lakes by the various state fisheries. in the spring they are a favorite prey for the largemouth bass. hopefully they will be effective.
