Can some of you guys offer some suggestions on what lures and other tackle to stock my box with? Growing up, I never really learned how to fish with much beyond some powerbait on a treble hook and occasionally using a spinner. It's almost embarrassing to be asking stuff like this at the age of 31, but I'm kinda getting sick of only coming home with 1-2 fish on a good day, minus the white bass that I haven't really liked the taste of. Fun to catch, but my goal is to bring home dinner.
I live in Provo, so I'd like to tailor it to use in that area. I've got a couple 6 foot medium action rods with spinning reels and an 8 ft medium heavy rod with a baitcaster on it. I mostly fish from the shore, but I picked up a little inflatable boat with a trolling motor that I've been using quite a bit lately.
Utah Lake is probably gonna be one of my frequent spots.Also gonna be fishing the Provo river, Deer Creek, Strawberry, and any other place that's kinda nearby. Not really sure what species I can get out of each place besides Utah lake. Mostly gearing it around trout, catfish, and bass if they taste any better than whites.
I'm also not sure about the best way to rig some of this stuff up. Trying to learn beyond what I was taught as a kid is making my head spin with how many things are out there. I really wish I would have made it to the DAV event at Strawberry so I could have learned some of this stuff in person. Any help would be appreciated.
