LURES:
Made to attract a fish’s attention and get a bite, the lure is the major gateway between making a catch or leaving you empty-handed. Artificial lures replace live bait that is often perishable, difficult to find, or expensive to obtain and attempt to mimic what bass eat in their natural habitat.
What might be more challenging, however, given the different types of fishing lures available, is knowing exactly which type to use.
The best way to get started is to recognise the most common types, how they differ, and when you might use them. Having the most appropriate lure for your needs is the best way to help fine-tune your fishing. Keeping a catch report is also a great idea as bass are creatures of habits and will return year after year to the same spot, at the same day on the same time of the tide. Use one of these catch reports to log your catches.
