Introduction: Guide to Fresh Water Fishing

About: My interests are fishing, carpentry, electrical, and outdoors stuff.
When I was a beginner fisher I did not know what I was doing. I searched and searched for guides that would show me what baits to get. This guide will show you what lures, baits, and rods a beginner needs. If I get 20 favorites I will make an ible about how to make an effective popper fishing lure. I see I just got 24 likes which means I will be making a how to popper lure. (9/11/14)Thanks everyone!

Step 1: Crank Baits

Crank baits are alway an effective way to catch bass! The crank baits in this picture are a sunfish and a bright colored baitfish. I highly recommend keeping a few of these in your tackle box.

Step 2: Spinnerbaits

Spinnerbaits are a very attractive bait used for dirty water conditions. These can be used at any time of day and will always catch you nice sized bass. The one shown in the picture is a booyah pond magic spinnerbait.

Step 3: Plastic Baits

Plastic baits are a versatile bait that you can either Texas rig or wacky rig. For a beginner Texas rig is the easiest way to fish a plastic bait because it is weadless so no more getting stuck in the trees at on a Log. This allows you to cast in places other baits will not allow you to.

Step 4: Top Water Baits

Top water baits are only effective at dawn. This makes fishing so much more fun to see the bass jump out of the water. The two baits shown are a popper bait and a jitter bug.
