Get out of your comfort zone

As summer approaches, or is already here for the southern states, those bass will be harder to catch. In the lakes they move deeper and in other waters are much less active in the heat of the day. So unless you fish at night or get up at 5:00am you have to change tactics to get them to bite. If you are going to venture out to the main lake, look for rock piles in 10 to 20 ft of water. Find it or other structure on your graph and make repeated cast attempts before you give up on the area. You may have to find the right crankbait to get that reaction strike. Ledges are another good way to locate bass, they will move from the top to the deeper angles of the ledge. You can use crankbaits, Texas rigged worms, jigs or spoons. I like to fish river systems now as the current can lower the water temperatures and keep those bass more active. Often time they will hold tight to cover and just wait for the bait to come to them. All types of techniques will work. So stop pounding the banks and look for offshore structure and ledges in the lakes and try the river for some fishing relief.

Good Fishing

Why modify?


With so many different kinds of fishing lures that are on the market you would wonder why so many of the professional tournament fishermen are constantly helping those lure makers modify those lures? More sales to be sure, but most new designs that come out have been modifications, alterations or creations of professional anglers out on the tournament trail. Why do they modify?

Fish are have become and are becoming more and more preconditioned to seeing the same thing thrown at them every weekend. When the pros roll into town for that tournament, they are usually using something new or doing some new technique.

If you have read my blog in the past, you know what I offer....Lure Luster. I will be the first to admit that i don't use my lure stickers on every bait in my bag. No as an avid angler, i want to find patterns and match the forage and use what ever those bass are biting. Now for real, i have alot of lures with my stickers on them, because i have use the product for many years and i know it doesn't repel the fish! In fact, i have seen many times when i know that added flash has gotten extra bites.

Lure Luster is another tool, like suspend strips, red hooks, gels, dyes and all the other customization tools. You use them when you think it will help you. Sometimes using these products just gives you confidence in what you are doing and that helps to.

Lure Luster is a easy and fun way to customize any hard bait. Start with your spinner baits and i think you will see the results. Crank baits, spoons and topwater lures will follow.

I hope you will try it out. I have changed the shipping options on my website www.lureluster.com to make the product more affordable.
