I would say for kids a senko or fluke would be the way to go. Keeps the kids constantly reeling and casting and other then live bait in my opinion is one of the easiest ways to catch bass.

My vote is to leave a bedding fish alone. They get enough pressure from natural predators. In some states it is illegal to target a bedding fish.

Just a little info about me. I have been fishing before I could walk (thanks to my Father and Grand father). Today at 26 I am still an advent fisherman. I live in PA so I do a lot of fresh water fishing; from bass to carp. Early spring right after the ice melts I like to carp and musky fish. Once the local lakes switch to about 50-55 degrees I turn my focus to large mouths right before the spawn. Really rest of my summer is spent bass fishing with a few musky, and catfish days mixed in. I love fishing for the excitement but also for the connection with nature and the peace it brings me. I'm here on this forum to connect with other fisherman around the country and learn a few new tricks.
