Stickbaits and plastics have been dynamite for me. (Thanks Noxscape ).  Searun fly and tackle in Coquitlam were well stocked with these last year which was convenient because it is right between Burnaby where I live and all the bass spots I was heading out to.

hey ray just wondering if u could help me out with bass tips.need directions to albert dyck ,katzie slough,fishtrap creek .thanx

[ray]

Hey Fishseeker: Were those stickbaits soft body or hard body, and what color and sizes would work around here. Thanks

[fishseeker]

Hi there ray,  they were selling soft bodied senko's and soft bodied worms with a wriggling action.

Noxscape has a wealth of knowledge on this topics and I got all of my original tips from him then just went out there and tried things.  My experience trying this out last year is these critters will hit on just about anything that moves but these are the things that seemed to work particularly well for me:

• Light brown wriggly worms about 4 inches long - these are a very soft plastic with a flattened tail on one end.  I guess this imitates a salamander or something like that.
• Sencos green on one side dark on the other with a slow sink rate 4 to 6 inches long - they slam these as they are sinking
• Toads - I was using soft plastic toads  light green on the bottom, dark on top.  They hammer these too and you will find them sold and Army and Navy (about 2 inches, I would prefer larger ones)
• Dick nite spoons - copper with red.  Really effective but they tend to attact small ones.  Good for crappies too.

I would say, start out with a small (cheap) selection of things and see what you have the most confidence in.  Personally I avoid the expensive top water baits simply becuase the soft plastics are way cheaper and very effective.

If you want more floatation on some of your bait then just inject them with air with a syringe.

the easiest thing to try to start bass fishing with is to wacky rig a soft plastic stick bait which is a senk lol bait that you can take a 3/0 off set hook and stick it right in the middle then you jsut toss it out and let it sink and watch your line for movement
toads like those that where mention are an awesome top water baits i use big bite bait toads  rigged with a 4/0 or 5/0 worm hook and you jsut run them across the top of the watter and the legs make a bubbling action
those are easist baits to use
also you can use spinner baits with you would use the same way you use a spoon pretty much cast and reel
for colours in stick baits i like to use a green/pearl colour
for toad i use a white toad
and for spinner baits i like a blue and white coloured bait

if you need more infor jsut drop me and email or check out the links on my signature

Dear Noxcape

I guess i can buy those
-White toad
-Spinner blue and white (What size should it be? 1/4oz?)

I have a medium rod (it's for trout, but w/e i guess it works with bass cuz it's more of a bass rod) with 6lb test, is it ok to use with bass?

[noxcape]

hey sd yes to both your question if your in the langley area go to the new store they they have all those and a great deal on plastics right now

if you can thou beef up your line to a 8 pound test

[ssd0904]

Yee i tried to go low for trouts but people says the main line doesnt matter anyways But the seller of the rod just wrapped the line so i didnt buy it so i guess i can beef it up soon when i use them all. Anyways, where is the "new store" because i wanna visit it BAD! Ahaa i got some money to spend.

[noxcape]

send me an email and ill tell you where its since i cant because hes not an advertiser on here lol

[ssd0904]

Oh alright

Get yourself some tube jigs in 1/8 and 3/16 0z and a few bags of tubes. I prefer watermelon and pumpkin seed colours that alone will keep you busy with the bass. cast them out let them sink to the bottom and wait a few seconds then hop them back. by lightly lifting your rod tip, let sink and repeat. Play around with different retrieves and see what they prefer. If your getting snagged lighten your jig wt.
