Do I bait these? worm/powerbait? Do these lures that you suggest have the name on the packaging? i.e. can I go to a store and find these lovely things.

Update on the fishfinder. The original one that I bought would not detect and movement from a large weight, nor fish for that matter. Took it back and got the new Humminbird Piranhana 2. This thing is awesome! Tracks the movement of the powerbait and weight. sees fish. Shows fish under the boat and by golly--eee drop the line there and catch a fish. I think I spoiled myself and made it too easy now.

Back to the trolling. Can I use a rapala or something as that sort as well? Plastic worm or live?

Sorry for the newbie questions. I am use to fishing in the midwest for walleye, crappie and big perch. Trout is something new to me. Last year was the first time I caught trout.

Are Bass around this time of year here?

Sorry again for all the questions, but this place is great for resources!
