I know where bass live from catching bluegill and other sunfish. I remember one time my dad and I fished at alum creek lake. I caught a lot of small sunfish including some small largemouth bass. My dad caught a big largemouth bass and took it home. I had fried bass for breakfast the next day.
I used wax worms and my dad used earthworms.
But besides leaving a small sunfish on the hook if I get a bite from a sunfish, what is the best way to attract a largemouth bass?
