      Corn, any leftovers in the fridge, but the best is cheap white bread!

      Use small spinners or jigs, and you could also use worms or for smallmouth crayfish

      I use little 1/16 size Beatle spins without the big spoon attached. I have caught tons of fish in creeks with these! Just make sure to keep it from hitting the bottom ...more because they do get caught.
