  1. anything natural for carp,best thing i use for bluegill is any king of crappie jigs,ifs a clearwater pond use a plastic worm without a weight ,if its a muddy water use plastic worms that are a dark color with a weight,won a lot of tournaments like that for bass


  2. corn for the carp and real worms for everything else.  If you can't get them plastic worms work too.

  3. The corn on small hooks will work well for both the carp and the bluegill. For the bass use soft plastic worms, swimbaits, crayfish, or frogs texas rigged and close to the weeds. Any artificial that looks real and mimmicks what they are eating at the moment will do well for bass. Live worms will attract all of these.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  4. Early in the morning I would try some rubber worms or top water baits for bass. Since you have a float tube you should be able to work the shoreline pretty well without scaring the bigger fish feeding in the shallow waters. Just stay as far away from shore as you can comfortably cast. Throw your bait as close to the shore as possible. Try  using different speeds on your retrieves also. Anywhere there is structure stumps bush's rocks there's a good chance for feeding fish.........

  5. float a fly on top of the water with no weight, or use a tiny bobber to give your cast same distance.  if you do put weight on your line leave enough distance between the bait and weight so your bait floats on the water. Anything that will sink in the weeds wont be seen by the fish. A spinner or spoon will end up coated in seaweed, but you could try one . . . the shimmer/sparkle is what attracts them in the dark muddy water . . . you could also try chunks of ham, spam, cheese, beef liver, salmon eggs, frogs, cricketts, grasshoppers, and powerbait . . . the stuff with the sparkles in it. i even seen a fish caught with bubble gum once . . . try anything

  6. i use power bait corn flavor and green, and gulp purple. i like to mix it up in a ball before getting it on my hook.

  7. Corn is great; chunks of uncooked hot dog work well too.

  8. I will tell you what Pig & Jig is the best best for big bass It's Slow fishing but worth it. I got my 9 lber one one  

  9. Worms, Hot Dogs, Bologna, Corn have fun I hope you catch a fish!
