Plastic Minnows
The Right Bait for Fishing
Trolling around the lake with my Gamin 400C fish finder that I bought from http://www.deepwaterfishfinder.com is a great way to locate where the fish are congregating in order to determine where the best place to start fishing would be. I troll at a speed of about fifteen miles per hour, for about a half a mile unless I find a large area where fish are swimming or else I find a very large fish that I want to try to catch. As I'm trolling along the lake, I watch my fish finder as it scans the depths of the water looking for fish.
As I locate where I want to fish, I slow the boat down and slowly drift to my fishing spot. I setup and cast my bait anticipating the direction where the fish are swimming. As they swim toward me, I throw my bait, which most of the time is a plastic worm into the water and slowly real it in pausing occasionally to allow the fish a chance to take the bait. I like to use a plastic worm, because if gives me control over my cast and I can maneuver my bait along the water to make it look real and alive.
My favorite type of worm to use when fishing for largemouth bass is the purple 6 inch plastic worm and when they're not biting, I change my bait to a 6 inch red plastic worm.
Its always a good idea to have a large supply of plastic worms and many different colors when fishing in order to change your worm whenever needed to find which color the fish are biting.
When the fish are not biting plastic worms, I change my bait and start trying artificial baits of many different types until I find the right bait. Sometime I use minnows and sometime I use spinners. Changing my bait until I find the right one.
There's a lot of fun and excitement in fishing the great lakes of Alabama and using my Garmin 400C fish finder from http://www.deepwaterfishfinder.com helps me locate the large fish and allows me an opportunity to catch that trophy fish that I'm looking for.
The temperature is rising everyday and the largemouth bass have migrated to the deeper water and tend to stay there to stay cool. Occasionally they move to the shallow water to feed on the smaller fish, but most of the time they are in the deeper water waiting on smaller fish to swim to close to the deep water.
With the water in our lakes being extremely high, because of the excess rain we've had lately, its very important to have a good quality fish finder to help locate the larger fish which tend to stay in the deeper water.
The type of bait you use is very important and having many different varieties are necessary, because its hard to tell which bait the fish will bite on any given day. Water temperature, time of year, water level and many other variables play a part in determining what bait the fish will take and the best way to find what bait to use is to keep changing until you find the right one.

where can i fish for minnows?
i live in Brier, Wa. i want to fish for minnows to keep as pets. where can i find them? i already made a trap out of a plastic 2 liter bottle. i am really excited to find somewhere to go fishing for them. anywhere near brier is okay.
Actually I do that too! 
They generally live in any creek or pond. I've had lots of luck in creeks, but I live in Oregon. Good luck.
