Well, my son will be 2 this summer, but daughter will be 4 this summer. Have took my daughter fishing with me, and sometimes she just plays around nearby instead of fishing (short concentration patterns, but that is because of her age). I know I will be fishing deep to shallow, this is why I asked whether these two lures (plastic worms and spinnerbaits) would work from deep to shallow) because seem like I am not catching a whole lot from te bank. But then I was with my kids. I will take a day off work, and make go at it sometime when it warms up a bit. I believe most of my problem is with picking colors of my lures (jigs/worms/spinnerbaits). I guess its all trial and error for me, but we sure do you weedy bottoms so I will need to use weedless lures so I don't spend too much time removing weeds from my lures :-/ Thanks!

I am starting to get into fishing more seriously. I have fished on and off for a long time, never pursuiting the "big one". My kids are starting to go fishing with me so we use worms mostly when they are with us. I have a few spinnerbaits and worms, but never caught a fish with them. Wanting some tips on fishing with worms. Can worms and spinnerbaits be fished effectively from a bank? I don't own a boat, so mostly fish from banks (hence my username on the boards). My local lake (77 acres) has all kinds of fish, and when fishing spinners (or non-weedless lures) I get alot of weeds on the hooks, depending on how deep the lure goes. Because of this, I have been reading up on weedless lures, and it seems the Texas-Rigged worm may be what I need. Can these worms be fished from a bank? What color should I use? How long should the worm be? I know bass like to relate to cover, and believe amongst the weeds there are bass there, at least there are bluegills there. The color of water in this particular lake is greenish and visibility seems to be 2/3 feet (from where I can see the bottom of the lake). When fishing worms, so I throw pependicular to the bank or can worms be thrown out? What color worm should I use for this color of water when its sunny and overcast? Any help you guys can provide would help me get started, beause I read quite a bit about guys catching on worms and spinnerbaits, but I been skunked every outing. > Thanks!
