bass

any texas rigged plastic with Garlic flavored fish attractent
i like old school6 inch ribbed ringtail worms in purple with a white tail
(gotta 1000 count bag of these 10 years ago and still have 300 or so left)
i dont buy into all these gimmick creature plastics.

i do like flukes and sluggos for the weeds

if i had to pick one bait for anything it would be Nightcrawlers....lets face it, you never get skunked using them.

RE: Confidence Lures
 

I have always been a live bait person. I never bought into the soft plastics thing. Every now and then there is a fishing fad - spinnerbaits for awhile, then rattle traps, now soft plastics. I've never had too much of a problem catchin fish on live bait...

I'll be down in Florida next year for spring break, hopefully i can drown a few worms while i'm down there. My grandparents just bought a house in some retirement home near Tampa. I guess there is some decent fishin around.

RE: Confidence Lures
 

Next Spring in Tampa...;)Tampa is40 miutes away from me..I can certainly put ya on some fish. What month in the spring will you be coming down ?

RE: Confidence Lures
 

I fish with live bait alot as well but, livebait is not a lure.

This is very true.;)
For bass..the rubber worm indeed.

RE: Confidence Lures
 

I'm not even sure when it will be yet, it all depends on when our spring break falls. My grandfather was able to do a bunch of fishing and was on fish pretty much every day he said, so I'm looking forward to goin down. The girlfirend won't like the idea that all I want to do is fish.....
