Freshwater FishingFreshwater fishing rods, gear, and fish to catch

I have been fishing for almost two years now and I have some lures……?

I was wondering which new tackle I should buy. I have 1 rappala, a few jigs, and lots of rubber worms. I was just wondering which lures and what colors would be good for here in Massachusetts. I know there are bass and pickerel around here and a pond is stocked with trout near my house. Also I was wondering if there were northern pike or walleyes around here thanks.

Hey Corey H,

For pickerel, use a Gold Al’s Goldfish and reel it in quick – they cannot resist it.

Bass – Tiny Luck 13. use it as a Popper – cast it out to a lilly pad, wait for the wake of the fish, then tug hard enough to pop the water, and stop. The next pull the Bass will jump into the air with the lure, trying to spit it out – so be prepared to keep up the tension. My grandfather taught me that.

These are 2 standards that really work. I caught more pickerel than anyone I know using Al’s.
