Hello
I have recently bought my first boat and been out about 5 times on Lake Anna, VA. The first 4 trips was nothing and the last I caught one at about 1 lb. Now before obviously I fished the sidelines and would do rather well on the shore with some 8-10 lb every year. (not at lake anna). I used to use a yamamoto with a bullet weight or a purple culprit with same set up and cast, let sink, bob line and let sink again until I would see the line take off.....works really well. However when you troll this is quite difficult. So my question is......what would be your abosolute must have for good bass fishing to start off with? Oh I did catch the bass on a spinnerbait, but not to expereinced with them.....are you supposed to do any action with these, or just a basic throw and retrieve and let the spinners do the work?
