The Basics of Fishing Lakes for Beginners  |  | Fishing for Beginners

In this short video I talk about the basics of lake fishing. The four fish that are found in lakes in North America are crappies, blue gill, cat fish and bass. 

Before you go to the lake be sure to bring along some minnows and worms to use for your bait. Bass and Crappies love minnows. And blue gill and cat fish prefer worms. 

Two rods will be needed as well when lake fishing. One with 10 -12lb test line and another with 4lb test line. The rod with the 10-12lb test line is for the bass and cat fish. And the other rod is for the crappie and blue gill.

When fishing for catfish you want to use the 10-12lb test line, worms as your bait and fish on the bottom. 

When fishing for crappie live minnows are a must so replace any dead minnows with ones that are alive. 

Use a standard J-hook to bait your 4lb test line. Then carefully take the hook and go through the mouth of the minnow and out through its nostril and not through its head or you'll kill it.

Use crank baits to catch bass and spinners are great for all four species of fish.
