Fishing has
developed from the use of bait to using synthetic baits such as lures
and fake baits. This advance is technology has a number of benefits and
so the art of lure fishing is discussed below:
There
are many factors that can make or break
a fishing trip using
lures. Lures depend on a variety of conditions and the results vary
from day to day.
Popular lure colours have been a combination of red and white, blue and
white, red and blue, and lastly green and yellow. It is best to use a
dark lure on a dull day; blue or pink are very popular during these
conditions.
Note:
When you come across a shoal of game fish feeding you should avoid
trolling straight through the shoal as this will scare the fish and
cause them to scatter. Steer the boat parallel to the shoal and when
you
have passed the shoal then turn the boat and travel through the place
that they were feeding. This will entice the game fish and cause them
to chase your lure.
Subsurface Lures
Here is an example of a subsurface lure:
These
lures are made in a large selection of
colours, but the redhead
lure seems to be the most popular with anglers no matter where you
fish.
The shape, size and angle of the plate on the wobbling type of lure
will influence the action of the lure while in the water. The further
bend down, the deeper the lure will run. A
wobbling lure that is not swimming
properly can cause trouble as it has two sets of hooks which can get
tangled and render the lure useless.
Conclusion of Lure Fishing
Always remember to choose a trolling pattern that is least likely to
cause tangles.
The pattern that you choose will often depend on the state of the sea
and the strength of the wind. Select your lures according to the
weather conditions. If fish are not biting then experiment with
different lures and you might want to adjust your trolling speed.
