I've always had good luck fishing a 6 inch black worm with blue tail but I'd thing about any dark worm would work..It's hard saying though not living in your area.I know when I was in Virginia I was tearing them up on Rapalas, Rooster tails and Mepps Comet. ..

I'm pretty spoiled down here in bass capitol of the world. I can't imagine striking out fishing..Although I can imagine hunting for an intire season without seeing a deer.
