If your a new fisherman or fisher girl the easiest way to catch fish is with a senko or stick bait. Basically its a 5 inch worm. My favorite way to fish a senko is wacky rigged. That means you stick a small hook right in the middle of the bait and you slowly pop it up and down in the water and the fish will kill it. this is a link to YouTube telling all about how to rig a senko and how to fish it if I haven't answered your questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM4k4X1xb8o
