live bait
 

I was thinking about using live bait to catch some bass but never have before. Any tips on bait or rigging?

never done it but would imagine hooking it through the back

don't use goldfish! yeah yak'em is right if you use shad or something like that hook them right under the dorsal fin.

Use big shiners hooked through the eyes.

Use shiners on a light jighead or just a crappie hook.hook em under the head thru the top.fish em under a cork up against the bank and work it out slowly with steady pops of ya rod tip. Good luck

shoot bruh.. i aint no bass fisherman..never claimed to be nor will i ever be....but my uncle is hardcore into it..and he says you go get you a bag full of them big ole gold fish from wal-mart..and hook them through the lips...and dump them off in some lilly pads...he claims that this is the way he has caught the 5 fish hanging on the wall in his house..all ranging from 10 - 14 lbs.

Behind the dorsal fin, so they will swim..if shiners, dont go below the line (you'll see) Shiners work well under a cork with a straight shank crappie hook, 2 split shots, and a cork..Fish creeks,sloughs,wharfs,etc.


Hope that helps...Not much experience with bass fishing with live bait, but When i go to catch white perch on that rig, i catch bass

Thanks fellas im going give it a shot Sunday and will let you'll know how I do.

thats the reason we have invasive species lol

Live crawfish is also very good to catch bass.

How about worms?

Im with T-Baz.... Big shiners, But i hook em behind the dorsal so they "swim around" and i use a cork at a few different depths..

worms will catch bream.
