Noremac7160 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I live In south jersey where are many smaller lakes to fish but I never really have time to go and when I do I never catch anything. I want to know what a good everyday, anytime of day bait or lure would be best Quote
Jdm219 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Spinnerbait or a squarebill. Mainly because I have no luck or experience using plastics. Lol Quote
papajoe222 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Welcome to the board, it's always a pleasure to see a new 'face' around here. Only you can determine what a good, everyday bait is for you. Suggesting a spinnerbait, for example, would be a waste if you either have never fished one or have absolutely no confidence it them. The same goes for soft plastics. There are a number of good suggestions here. Pick one that you are comfortable with and fish it exclusively. Two things will happen. First, you'll learn the lure. The way it feels, reacts to different rod/line movements. Second you'll gain confidence in both you and the bait. Once you master both the lure and catching fish with it, it's time to move on to a different bait. Hopefully, you'll reach a ripe old age before you can say you have mastered all the different style baits out there 2 Quote
tholmes Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 T-rigged worm, craw or creature bait. Jig and craw. These are two that I always have tied on. Tom Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 9, 2014 Super User Posted June 9, 2014 I'd say square bills would be one choice because you can use them close to cover or more in the open with success Quote
Jon G Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 To me an everyday bait is either a search bait or a confiendience bait so for me i almost always will have a squarebill, lipless crank, jig, keitech swing impact fat 4.8 in Bluegill Flash (Only size and color that works for me) Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 9, 2014 Super User Posted June 9, 2014 When we lived in New Jersey, my all-purpose go-to lure was a Texas-rigged 7.5" Culprit plastic worm (any dark color) with a 3/16 oz bullet sinker. Roger 1 Quote

macmichael Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Fish is a lot of trial and error. Read, listen, observe, ask questions in detail, take notes and practice, practice, practice. Most of the time fishers are very agreeable to share info. If yopu see other people fishing, pick their brain. Best of luck to you. 2 Quote
Super User bigbill Posted June 10, 2014 Super User Posted June 10, 2014 If I tried throwing all of this in one day I would spend more time re-tying than fishing.I use locking snap swivels.I don't ask anybody what's hot today. I like to figure it out by my own tactics. I find my system of varying my lure colors and sizes works. Then it's my secret if I was a pro. Quote
