Fishing Rod Rack

I have been fishing a few times but always used other people’s equipment. However, I recently went to Wal-Mart and purchased a rod and reel, round container of hooks, round container of split shot weights, and a 6 pack of bobbers.

I fish in the morning from 7:30-11:00 or at night from 6:00-8:30 in a small (55 acre) lake in WV. I mostly catch bluegill, sunfish, and yellow perch. There are the occasional catfish when I drag along the bottom, and some small and large mouth bass.

I usually just fish with live worms from Wal-Mart but I’m wanting to start a tackle box with some artificial lures. Can anyone give me some ideas what types of baits and lures to fill my tackle box with? If you could give me some links to places online where I can buy them it would be great too.

I want topwater, worms, spinner, crankbaits and so on. Im just gettin into it this year and its so much stuff out there

what kind of worms do you use how do you use them

and what kind of lures do you use and how do you use them

and what other tackle do you use

I and some friends are fishing this weekend at Greer’s Ferry in Central Arkansas. Primarily from the Devil’s Fork Landing area.

I’m fish for just about anything and this lake as large and small mouth bass as well as catfish, brim and crappie. I just need a bunch of suggestions on what type of lures, artificial bait, etc, I should purchase before the trip. I mainly use real worms, but I’ve some a bit of other stuff. I just need some more…

I love fishing for Catfish, so any ideas on tackle for that kind of fish would be helpful as I plan on using the stuff after this trip.

Please don’t just give pat answers. Winner will get the 10 points for sure. Sources will get my attention as well!!!!

Thanks for your help.

I have tried jigs, Spinnerbaits, Rooster tails, Worms, Live bait, and everything else in my tackle box. There is no cover on land around the pond, Just a tree or two. There aren’t many places to hide in the water. A fallen tree, and that’s about it. The water is brown and murky. I can catch some bream but the big bass just jump out of the water when I am fishing at a different part. But I always seem to see them jump. Sheer lunkers they are. But always not on my hook.

i can never find the right tackle box for all my fishing lures
i need something that is not to big or to small
something that will hold bobers, worms, jigs, crankbaits, everything
and it has to be $20-$30 and have a strap
