Fishing Lures

Cloudy, overcast conditions change water visibility and fishing strategies quite a bit.

Certain lure styles and colors perform much better on cloudy fishing days.

To maximize your fishing success on these days, it is important to know what color lures you should be using.

Every experienced angler swears by the color black and blue.

But is it really worth the hype? And when should you use black and blue lures?

This article will give you everything you need to know about how, why, when, and where to fish black and blue lures.

Everyone knows that bass love bluegill. Every lake, pond, or river that has bass in it, will also have bluegill.

Swimbaits are by far the most realistic baitfish lures on the market.

So to match the hatch and get big bass to bite, swimbaits are one of the best ways to catch bass that are feeding on bluegill.

I have fished with tons of bluegill. After testing out so many, these are the best bluegill swimbaits for bass fishing.

Clear water conditions are very intimidating and scary for many anglers.

You have a bit less freedom to use certain lures and fishing techniques.

Bass can get a very good look at your lures in clear water.

So you need to be using the right lures that will convince bass to bite, even after a good look.

As soon as the spring starts rolling around, I start bass fishing. I love pond fishing all year, but especially during the spring months.

The spring gives anglers a wide range of conditions because of the behavior changes of bass.

Bass go through three phases just in the spring months, so you need a wide range of lures to catch the throughout each phase.

During the fall, I love getting out on the water in the early morning.

Especially during the late fall, the early morning, just as the sun is coming up, is an amazing time to catch bass.

Not to mention, these calm mornings give you very calm and beautiful scenery.

Morning fishing in autumn isn’t much different, but I do change up my lure selection a bit to optimize my bass fishing.

During the late fall, as it begins to transition into the winter months, many anglers have a hard time catch bass.

The lures or fishing strategies that had been working for the last couple of months just aren’t catching bass anymore.

So what lures do you need to be using in the late fall transition?

The winter can be a very challenging bass fishing season.

But it can also be a great opportunity for pond fisherman since there is much less competition and it is easier to find fish compared to a big lake.
