Seeking basic tips on bass fishing. Got a 4 day getaway over the July 4 weekend to what is supposed to be a great bass lake near here (Lake Rousseau). I would like to do some bass fishing there but have no gear, no knowledge, and little experience (I've fished lakes in Wisconsin rather randomly over the years, waiting for that perfect muskie, but that's another story).
So what basic gear should I take? Any specific bait suggestions? Easy bass recipes (see, I'm assuming I'll land one already)? Should I just capitulate and get a guide?
