Well, I can offer you some advice for Inexpensive fun to the best of my ability.

1) What type of boat do you have? If you do not have access to and expensive bass boat and all the fun electronic gadgets (cheat devices... in my opinion >=) ) then you may wish to try trolling. I have trolled for the better part of 12 years always managing to put something in the cooler. However the last few years have shown a decline in Small and Large mouth bass and a larger abundance in Saltwater Stripe and Hybrids (white bass). The ratio of Stripe to Bass in my cooler is around 3:1. Anyway... on the the fishing. I use four poles with spinner reals (the seem to work better than baitcasters for trolling, although you could make baitcasters work). I fish in a 14 foot aluminum boat with a 15hp Nissian motor. I use 3 rod holders that you can get from wall-mart (the kind they design to be used from shore) I simply use the top portion that holds the road and bolt it to the side of the (2 on the right, 1 on the left) at different locations, and I put the last rod under my seat on the port side so that there are 2 rods on each side of the boat. It is important that you put each line out a differnt length to prevent them from becoming tangled, for example: the pole under the seat 12 ft, the next port pole 24ft, the first starboard pole 32ft, and the second startboard pole 40ft. These are rough estimates and you can use "trial and error" to figure the best distances for your particular aplication. For bait I use medium size swivels and rattletraps. Right now they seem to be most attracted to silver but you can try differernt things. If you must catch a bass then try around the Kowlediga bridge and the old bridge wreckage. Go as slow as you can, open a beer.... and let the fish do all the work. If you are not close to the bridge then try a shady area early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Even around pears. This might seem like alot of trouble but i'll leave that up to you. Enjoy and good luck.
