Hey!

[Bassassinator]

Hey Guys! i am new here and just wante dto say hi and ask a few questions. 1st, I just caught my first ever Smallmouth Bass weighing 3 Lbs. 3 days ago. I need some help though, I want to be better at Bass fishing and fishing in general really, But I went to wal-mart about 3 years ago and bought a Shakespear Ugly Stick rod & Reel Spinning Combo, i'd love to give you more details but it's late here and i would make a bit of noise trying to get to my gear. I live in Northern MA, and go fishing almost every day. I know that the action for my rod is MH, and the typical bait that I use for lake fishing is small scale sunfish, perch, Berkeley PowerBait, or crawlers from the local stores. I have a little money invested into some lures, like crankbait, and spinners, as well as Spinnerbaits and Buzz Baits. I mainly concentrate on my Lake fishing, and i guess my questions are, What time is the best to be lakeside, and what/how do i use the recommended bait?
