What do you fish for, and what's your most effective bait/lure?

Answer 1

When I'm at work in the Gulf of Mexico, I fish on the top for shark and amberjack. I use either a hardtail or a piece of old steak. I fish on the bottom for red snapper, vermillion snapper, and grouper(or whatever bites). I use squid, shrimp, or cut hardtail.

When I'm at home I fish for just about anything in the water.

bluegill-worms or crickets or a bream killer
catfish-cold worms on the rod, chicken hearts, or shad on trotline
bass-spinnerbaits, crank baits, worms, just whatever works
barfish(white bass)-kastmaster or small spinnerbait
speckled trout-live shrimp, cocahoe minnows, soft plastics
redfish-dead shrimp on a jighead, soft plastics, minnows, mullet, crab
sheepshead-dead shrimp on a jighead or tightlined

I guess that just about covers it. Now, sir, what do you fish for and what's your most effective bait/lure?

Answer 2

I fish the Great Lakes, so can catch just about any freshwater fish, from smelt to sturgeon. I usually fish for walleye, pike, or bass. I use a line with a shiner under a bobber, and cast another, with a minnow type lure, like a countdown rapala or a long A bomber. Pike, bass, and walleye all hit them.

Answer 4

Mainly Steelhead and Salmon (but love them trout as well), favorite method be a Spin-n-Glow with a roe sac trailer ~ bank driftin'. Hot Shots, Lil Cleo's=Steelies, Kwikfish lure w/ Sardine wrap=Salmon ;)...

Answer 5

Mostly bluegill, smallmouth and catfish.

We do very well just using slip-bobbers and either crawlers or leaf worms.

She prefers pieces of crawler; I just go with the leaf worms.

A lot of tourists around here fish hard for bass and walleye, using crankbaits, but we do just great with a canoe and simple tackle.
