Suggestions for Bass Bait?

We are going Bass fishing Monday, anyone have a suggestion for bait?

We use the minnows and nightcrawlers, and some other bait, but actually, I want to beat the pants off my hubby and catch a bigger fish than he does..

Suggestions?

DUUUDE......

I use spinner baits, and catch fish all the time. Hell bass will eat almost anything if it is presented properly.

How big of bass are there in the lake? If there are huge bass like 7 - 10 lbs, use a 4 - 6" golden shiner. You have to catch the shiners first though. The golden pond shiners, not the minows from the bait shop.
If you're using nightcrawlers they work good, but instead of balling the thing up on the hook a million times, make it look natural and run it through like a rubber worm... just be gentle casting it. they hit on them that way more.
For lures I had pretty good luck with a flatfish in the 70s, but they seem hard to find now. The red and white ones worked best.
For rubber worms I always did best with the purple ones.

Takes some crankbaits or spinner baits and maybe throw some jig grubs and topwater baits too now.

The Bass are so big and aggressive in my pond all I use is a lure that looks like a painted 2x4 with treble hooks on it...I've found turtles in their stomachs before...seriously...

There are a few really huge ones still sitting in that lake they are " smart" . Thank you for your suggestions.. I have to run out and get my supplies lol This is going to be fun!

He has been using a mouse, last year he caught a bullfrog lol you know, this is just going to be fun..

Wow, we have mostly pan fish, some bass, northern and trout, but nothing as big as you describe here and if I can mention, they are very smart.

anise extract is a fish attractant and it also removes the human smell when you bait the hook

The is an alarming amount of nature around my place...I sometimes wonder if there isn't a nuke plant leaking radioactive water in to the springs that feed my pond...Everything grows huge around here...

I went bass fish'n today. Sunny calm day no wind. I was plugging along the bank when I saw a branch moving up and down. As I trolled in a little closer, I could see a big grey squirrel was running out to the end of the brank. It's weight was causing the branch dipping it into the water.

As I moved in a little closer, I could see there was a stump sticking about 4 inches out of the water and there were 3 acorns sitting on top of it. The squirrel got brave and jumped onto the stump to eat the acorns. All of a sudden ***BAMMM*** the biggest bass I have ever seen grabbed the squIrrel and they both disappeared on the other side.

And I'll be damnd if 5 minutes later, that bass didn't put 3 more acorns on that stump.

check out my 6.5lb Bass from few years back
