Smallmouth, Largemouth, We're All About Bass!

homemade freshwater largemouth bass bait recipes? I've been fishing in this pond by my house for 2 years, and the fish in it are extremely stubborn and picky. The only thing i've really had luck with is hot dogs, but they've learned to stay away. So long story short, i need some homemade bass bait recipes that aren't expensive and have been tested by actual fisherman like me.

Eating small/ largemouth bass? I was just curious if small/largemouth bass are good eats? I imagine anything is ediable but I have heard that bass is'nt that good to eat. The only fish I eat that I catch is walleye or perch. If anyone has any links with recipes that include pics or videos (im the visual type) that would be great. Also is pike any good?

Best bait/lures for Largemouth Bass? Any suggestions for catching Freshwater Bass in the summer? Either buying certain lures (colors, size, etc.), specific kinds of bait or recipes for homemade bait. ~Links to pictures much appreciated. Thanks

catfishh baits?????? hi so i go to a small pond by my house for fishing and i used abait thats made out of bread and cheese all smooshed together with lots o garlic salt and real granulated garlic that imade at home so i use it the first time and i get a huge catfish that breaks my line [ i caught it with in the first ten mins of casting] so i cast another piece out and i got another catfish with in first ten mins so i real it in and its a 31 in, 17 pound catfish and i give a piece of the magic bait to aome one else and he gets one in the first ten mins that breaks his line [hes using 10 pound test fireline and im using 8 pound test mono ] then the next day i go to the lake at the same time with 2 lines out in the water and same bait and i catch nothing so then my mom bought some large cut garlic for a recipe and she has some garlic juices left over that almost makes me gag just sniffing them becuz its so strong so do u think if i soaked the same bait in that stuff it would work relly good?? ps. i switch to 14 pound fireline and also whadt do u think of the south bend colapseble eclipse rod it landed me a 31 in catfish and a 22 in largemouth bass and many more so it cant be total crap?
