Sorry about giving you the links instead of advice but the links are very helpful and you can read at your leisure to find out things. It's just too big an area to cover in a paragraph or two- or fifty paragraphs.

Answer #2:

a plastic worm can and does work day in and day out, all year long.

different rigging styles and presentations, different types of structure, cover or none, bass will always fall prey to a well presented soft plastic bait.

and it's a twenty-four hour bait. they catch fish in the morning, afternoon, evening, and are my first choice of bait for night time fishing.

Answer #3:

The Gary Yamamoto senko. there are several different colors but green pumpkin works best. Senkos are expensive so another good bait is bass pro tournament series stik-o. Those hold up better than the senkos.

Answer #4:

Morning : Topwater popper. 1/4oz or 3/8oz. Green/firetiger/frog patterns AROUND the matted grass. These lures will not work in the grass with the trebles and all. But right outside of it they work tremendously. For open water, try any shad imitator. Buzzbaits, too. 3/8oz or 1/2oz. Maybe even 1/4oz. Chartreuse for muddy water, white for partly stained and clear water. But for clear water a Popper would absolutely be the best choice. Topwater frogs if there's matted grass around, these will go right through it. Spinnerbaits, too. Knock 'em against wood at a good, fast, PRECISE, retrieve.

Mid-day : Spinnerbaits. Do the knocking them against would thing. Topwater bite is normally off, go with other things. 6" or 7" Texas-rigged worm or lizard. Or fluke. Just about any good-sized soft plastic lure that sinks. Crankbaits if the water is choppy. Jigs w/ a crawfish trailer.

Late evening : All the Topwater lures like in the morning. Followed by a Plastic worm or lizard as well. Spinnerbaits will work, too.

Night : 1/2oz or 3/4oz Colorado blade black Spinnerbait, 8" or bigger plastic worm, black jitterbug.
