My favorite fun fishing bait has got to be the smaller worms. I absolutely
love that bite and this is the season for it...

Everybody who knows me at all knows that I am an absolute lover of
spinnerbaits. Spinnerbaits are fun and easy to fish, I seldom get hung

with

them, and I regularly catch good numbers of my biggest bass with them.

I also love fishing soft plastics, because they usually provide me with

the

most fish wherever I go.

But for pure, unadulterated fun, when conditions are right (morning or
evening, flat water) and the fish are cooperating, nothing produces more
shouts and grins from me than using light spinning tackle to twitch a #7
silver/black Rapala floating minnow next to a weedline, stump, stickup,

or

other type of cover. A strike on almost every cast is not unusual, and

you

are likely to catch many different species of fish if they are

available.

My Dad first took me fishing when I was 4. We continued to fish together
until our last trip, a float on the beautiful Gasconade river in SW
Missouri. The water was perfect and the fish acted like they were

starved.

Dad tied on that Rapala and landed & released a 2 lb. smallie on his

first

cast, even before getting in the boat. We had to stop fishing a few

times

to

give his 80 yr. old arms a rest after hooking and fighting so many mean

and

hungry Gasconade residents on that floater, including a few 4 lb. plus

bass

and a 9 lb. channel cat, among other things. That night he giggled and
grinned all the way back to St. Louis, and I swear that when they buried

him

2 years later, the smile was still on his face. Not meaning to be

morbid,

I

made sure that he had all of his favorite lures with him (especially

those

Rapala floaters) when he went into the ground.

#7 Rapala floating minnows; make sure you have a few!
