How do I use fishing lures?
Posted on Mar 12, 2010 under Fishing Lures | 5 CommentsI am new to fishing and I don’t know what lures to use or for what fish i should be trying to catch with them.
First of all check out the "Project FISH" website, the "FISH" stands for Friends Involved with Sportfishing Heritage".
Second; Beginners and Professionals rely on bobber fishing with worms, minnows or other live bait. Many walleye are taken using a bobber and a leach. Steelhead anglers use a bobber and a spawn bag or artificial fly to present their bait. A bobber lets you suspend your offering in front of the fish longer, you don’t get tired casting and have less chance of getting tangled up in a branch or other person! Bobber fishing is less expensive.
Lastly, have fun and take a kid Fishing (if you are a kid, take an adult fishing!).
Let me know how you make out.

Use Rappala Lures they are the very best, all lures are made to do something special in the water, read the box and buy for where you are going to fish, than cast and retrive slowly, also learn what bodies of water have the best fishing and go have fun, it’s easy to learn.

Yeah, Rapalas are pretty good for a bass and lots of other game fish, but I think Roostertail spinners are the best for beginners. They’re so simple to use (cast them out and reel them in just fast fast enough to make the blade spin), they’re dirt cheap (so you won’t mind losing them so much on snags and lily pads) and they catch ALL kinds of fish, big and small. Once you’ve got the hang of it and feel more comfortable you could move up to Rapalas and rubber baits to start targeting the BIG fish.

If you are new to fishing try some panther martins, or rooster tails. Rapalas are too damn expensive and you may snag up alot if don’t know what you are doing. Check with the locals and find out what color/colors are working well for the species you are after.

I prefer Texas rigging It allows you to get into thick structure where larger fish are It is also great for beginners as 2 bags of yum worms or zoom worms whatever your preference ( I prefer the yum) cost as much as one rapala lure and it wont snag as easy If you do a google search for texas rigging you should find a site that will give you easy directions as well as some tips
