What's your Favorite Lure and for what species

Only thing LM bass are hitting for me are 6” Senkos Texas or wacky rigged. Some days they won’t hit those either. Some days, it’s like the bass all moved to some other lake!

 

White bucktail with a white teaser, both tipped with gulp swimming mullet. For fluke, striper and blues.

 

Nice

 

we got into a school of blues in the chesapeake bay, man that was a blast! We couldnt get the fish off the hooks fast enough, soon as it hit the water we had one hooked. Fun and they were good eating!

 

Yeah when you get em riled up they hit anything including a bare hook.

 

1/16oz-3/8oz jig with a gulp or saltwater assassin for reds and specs

Anything with a hook for blues

3oz pink/white or pink/orange bucktail for cobia

5” pearl, white, shad ect.. super fluke with a 1/16oz bullet weight for bass and a 5/8oz weighted worm hook for stripers.

 

Beetle Spin's for when I don't care what I catch, its usually good for bass and crappie

 

Spinner baits equipped wit willow blades good for northern pikes

 

got some pics?

 

Unfortunately not

 

what colors have you found the work the best?

 

Yellow & green coloured w/silver blades work well for me but all depends on water clarity

 

and temp Im sure, water here opened up/thawed then re-froze...so we wont be pike fishing till April here

 

Yeah, it's still an ice cube up here where I'm from ice fishing season is almost over so gotta wait till mid May when ice & snow is completely gone

 

Guys up here have been killing it with ice fishing for pike. I haven’t, I suck and end up drinking all the beer and maybe catching one or two small fish if I’m lucky.

 

I dont ice fish...something about hypothermia and dying I try to avoid

 

A

haha, I know what u mean but up here around Jan-feb it can get as cold as -30C - -40C & the ice can get as thick as 3-5ft thick so nothing to worry about

 

thats some expensive baits...any one in particular work better than others? Ive been curious about some of them but I cant open my wallet to get an expensive bait.

 

The lure I find the most fun to fish with is a topwater my brother gave me over 15 years ago. The paint is half gone and the hooks have been swapped out multiple times, but it still catches a lot of smallmouth when they are in the mood to hit the surface. But it's also the most frustrating at certain times of the year.
