>>854231Nightcrawlers or minnows on a bobber always work for bass. Just try and cast it past the drop-off so tons of bluegill don't all eat it.
And for the lures, you either need to find the right spot and/or the right time. Dusk and dawn or right before storms, that is the time to get some bass. But you still need to find a good lake and the hot spots for bass. I'm suprised you haven't gotten some smaller largemouth on something.
>>854239Don't gut hook it. If you let the fish totally swallow the bait and hook before reeling it in, you will probably fuck it up and kill it. Other than that, put them back in the water within 10min, don't smash them on too many rocks, and you should be fine.
