Iam going to go fishing in the Yellow River (Lilburn, GA), if anybody knows, and the fish listed are the most familiar fish there. The river is about 3-5 feet deep and 70% muddy and has a lot of tree stumps in it. I have bought an Origional Rooster Tail, a Nano Crank, and Berkleys Gulp Earthworms with 400 times more scent. Can any one tell me which bait I bought is best, or which one I should buy?
Largemouth bass
Bluegill sunfish
Redbreast sunfish
Spotted sunfish
Channel catfish
Black crappie

Sure:
For Sunfish and crappie use natural worms which
you will find in abundance under any pile of
accumulated leaves. The Berkleys Gulp Worms
might get the job done, but they don't wiggle. Live
earthworms wiggle for a while and that drives sunfish
bonkers.
Crappie will go for the worms also.
Bass like all kinds of insects and bugs, so I will
leave your choice of baits for Bass to you. There are
10 Bass Experts per fisherman out there, so you should
have a wide variety of information to choose from.
Take two apples with you. Before baiting up, slice the apples and mash the slices with your hands and fingers.
that should get rid of all traces of fuel and oil, etc.

by far, by far, by far the Roostertail!!! Man i have had sooo much luck with them it's pathetic. if fishing in a river its better to use gold blades but silver can work just as good too. i use the Silver Shad,..that i buy by the box (14-15 per box) to catch large numbers of speckled perch, bluegill and bass every year without fail,..so take my advice and go with the Rooster!!!

I am a big fan of the Roostertail. I catch everything on them. If I was focusing on bass I would try like the Zoom flukes that act like injured shad.

I have caught all of those fish on a streamer fly [Mickey Finn]. Fly fishing is the best fresh water sport.
