1. Fishing!!! By, Mason Zimmerman BassCrappie Bluegill Perch

2. Equipment Bluegill- a light reel and a light or ultra light rod should do. Bass- a nice reel and a medium or medium heavy rod would be fine depends on body of water. Crappie- same set up as a bluegill would be fine. Perch- a medium rod and a medium light reel would be great for perch. Best reel ever ! Rod reel combos in boat.

3. Bluegill tackle In early spring a road runner or a tube on a jig would work well. During summer the water is a little warmer so you might want to go to a slower tactic like a soft plastic or a worm. In fall the water would be even cooler so go with a night crawler or a minnow. Tube Road runner Minnow

4. Bass In early spring get aggressive with your baits a spinner bait or a mepps® work awesomely. During summer a jig and bigger soft plastics are the bomb. In the fall the bass are skimpy an wont feel like biting so keep your baits subtle and smaller. Mepps®Soft plastic (Berkley®)

5. Crappie A good early lure for crappie is a minnow head jig with a curly twin or single tail grub. A great summer lure is a road runner and a crappie jig. A fall type set up is the basic minnow or worm but if the fish are still aggressive go with a smaller bait/ lure. Single tail grub. Marabou (feathered) road runner

6. Perch The fish are harder to find during earlier spring so go with a smaller spinner bait or small mepps®. During summer fish are more active so you can be more aggressive bring out the jerk baits! Fall is another story fish are going deeper and so will you, minnows seem to be the way to go. spinnerJerk bait
