We decided to use minnows on our fishing trip which ended up working out very well. We caught five stripped bass in the lake. What kind of bait do you ussually use when lake fishing?

usually use minnows or nightcrawlers. they may have come up w/something better as long as it has been since i went fishing.

I don't fish all that often. But for the most part I have pretty much only used worms. I can not put the worm on the hook though, it is too creepy for me and I feel to guilty doing it. So if I do go fishing someone has to put the worm on the hook for me. My husband won't do it either so if we go fishing we have to go with other people who are willing to put worms on hooks.

hello moneymommy i like to use chicken livers when that i go fishing to use as my bait or lures. i am not touching a worm or a minnow like that to put it on my fishing hook. ewww. you want me to do what? lol Kroger's grocery store usually doesn't have the chicken livers out in their store like that, but i have found that Food Lion grocery stores do keep the chicken livers out handy all of the time when i am ready to go fishing. both of my boys and my hubby uses worms and minnows and the boys both like to use the red and white bobbers when that they go fishing as well so that they know to watch for when that their bobber sinks under the water, that they had better be seeing if that they have a fish on their hook! the weather needs to get loads warmer here in Middle Tennessee before that i even think about going fishing. take care and have a beautiful day today!
