For all you fisherman out there  

I want to learn how to fish I have been with people fishing that is going to be the thing for me to do this summer.

Myself I prefer artificial. It is just a little more challenging and I'm not just sitting on the shore or in the boat and waiting. I guess it is more of a proactive approach.

But there are times when bait is the order of the day depending upon the species that I am fishing for.

For example:

sunnies,bluegill,rock bass and perch I would use night-crawlers,meal worms wax-worms,corn or bread

For others like carp and catfish I would use corn,cut bait,chicken livers or dough-balls

Finally for larger species like bass or walleye I would use Minnows, Large night-crawlers.

As far as what I bring that would always be At least 2 rods and my tackle box and while my tackle box is a bit larger than some others as I said I prefer artificial.

To be honest I am just a down home girl that still uses minnows and leeches and nightcrawlers for bait. I don't get into all of that fancy stuff for fishing. The tacklebox is only along for when we get snags and have to re-rig the lines or to get a nasty hook out.

You should come over here to fish. Devils Lake is a national fishermans spot! You would love it I am sure.
