Bean bag, I will try to make a list of some of the most common freshwater fish species make, along with bait and lures for these fish. Here I go ~ Largemouth Bass – Bait: minnows, bluegill, worms, crabs. Bait, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, in line spinners, soft Plastic creature baits, jigs, spoons, lip-less crankbait, poppers, buzz baits, walk-the-dog-style bait / AKA cigar bait, and there are probably a few more that I should be mentioned. Smallmouth Bass – Bait: hellgrammites, small fish, worms, crabs forgotten. Bait: refer back to "Largemouth Bass" above. Smallmouth as the same lures, only in smaller sizes. Channel Catfish – bait: worms, stink bait, baits, dough, hot dogs, chicken liver, Cheese, crabs, minnows. Catfish are often not caught on bait. Bluegill – bait: worms, bread, hot dogs, barbecue. Bait: In line spinners, soft plastic Grubs and tubes, small crankbaits. Carp – Bait: worms, bread, corn, crabs. Carp do not often lures. Zander – bait, small fish, worms, leeches. Bait: crankbaits, spinner rigs tipped with a large grub, or "crawler in line spinners, grubs and minnow-style soft plastics. These are the most big fish you see in lakes. A good overall set-up is a float, sinker, hook and worm. You could catch all the fish I mentioned above with the rig.
