Answer 1

Well like the two above me, I'm not Brandon but I'll put in my opinion. The best Bait hands down is live minnows. Just put them under a bobber and through them into some cover like weeds, submerged logs, etc. Now you said lure and the best lure in my opinion would be a Texas rigged plastic worm in the color that fists your body of water. here's how to rig the worm-http://youtube.com/watch?v=9NpndQeBhnU. The best way to fish it is to cast it out into some cover that you think might hold bass, let it fall freely to the bottom and when it hits the bottom you should bounce it along the bottom slowly until it gets to you and repeat.

Hope you guys are having a fun Memorial Day

Answer 2

Well I'm not Brandon either but I do know what bass hit off of.
Lures like plastic worms really work great around these times, or you could try your luck with my favorite lure.

Its called the hydra fishing lure and I have caught more bass then I could believe.trust me, this lure works more then any other lure that anbody else might mention.

below is the website because if you do value my Information then you should look.

Happy fishing!

well im not Brandon either...

Here are my picks of the best bass lures.

1) Plastic Worms
Plastic Worm - Plastic worms have probalby accounted for more bass than any other kind of bait. They are very versitile and can be fished from the top to the bottom. You can get any size needed from tiny three inch worms to monsters over 10 inches long. And the come in all colors of the rainbow - and hundreds more. Rig them Carolina style, Texas style, on a jig head, weightless and any other way you can imagine and they will catch bass.
2) Crankbaits
Crankbait - Crankbaits look like baitfish or crawfish, two of the favorite foods of bass. Crankbaits come in all sizes, shapes and colors. They are easy to cast and work in most kinds of water. You can fish fast and cover water to find active bass. Learn to fish a crankbait and it adds to your arsnel of effective lures.
3) Spinnerbaits
Spinnerbait - Spinnerbaits catch lots of bass and they are a good bait for covering a lot of water fast to find fish. They tend to catch bigger bass, too. They come in a wide variety of sizes, colors and blade configeraton to help match the hatch. They look like baitfish and bass eat a lot of baitfish.
4) Jig and Pig
Jig and Pig - A jig and pig is one of the best big bass baits available to fishermen. Lots of tournaments are won with a jig and pig because they catch bigger bass. Resembling a crawfish when worked on the bottom, they attract bass looking for an easy meal and bass love crawfish.
5) Bucktail Jig
Bucktail Jig - A bucktail jig is a very basic lure that is so effective in catching fish it is included in survival kits. Varations include plastic tails either straight or curly. All work well under varing conditions. Not just a bass lure, they do catch bass under a wide varitey of conditions.
6) Topwater Plugs
Topwater Plugs - No bass bite is more exciting than what you get with topwater lures. The smashing splash of a bass hitting on top will make your heart stop, but even the gentle hit of a big bass sucking a topwater plug under as it eats it is thrilling. You can get a lot of colors, sizes and actions in topwater baits and you can make them work in a huge number of ways.
7) Tail Spinners
Tail Spinners - When bass are deep a tail spinner is an excellent way to catch them. Little George lures made Mann's Bait Company famous and have caught many bass. They are great in cold water when bass are inactive and don't chase baits very far.
8) Spoons
Spoons - Jigging spoons catch a lot of bass but a weedless spoon with a trailer is an excellent bait in grass and heavy cover. In some cover a weedless spoon works better than any other bait. They flash and wiggle and attract strikes.
