>>467706The bass are going to be very, very hard to catch until mid-late Spring. They tend to hang out at the very bottom and don't eat much, if anything, until the water temperature goes up. It's almost like hibernation but not quite. Dunno about the catfish and sunfish.
For trout you may want to try corn kernels. Apparently that stuff is like crack for trout. I only ever fly fish for trout so I can't help too much for bait, I'm afraid.
(I do know that bass fucking love chartreuse i.e. neon green. Something similar to pic related + decent practice on your part to make it move and jerk like a natural minnow will likely be a killer).
Another thing you might want to look into is where, exactly, you're putting the bait. Most fish like to hide out near cover so they dun get eated by hawks and such. Try to put your lures/bait near weeds, fallen trees, underwater boulders, etc...
