I have been fishing for almost two years now and I have some lures......?

Question

I was wondering which new tackle I should buy. I have 1 rappala, a few jigs, and lots of rubber worms. I was just wondering which lures and what colors would be good for here in Massachusetts. I know there are bass and pickerel around here and a pond is stocked with trout near my house. Also I was wondering if there were northern pike or walleyes around here thanks.

Answer 1

Hey Corey H,

For pickerel, use a Gold Al's Goldfish and reel it in quick - they cannot resist it.

Bass - Tiny Luck 13. use it as a Popper - cast it out to a lilly pad, wait for the wake of the fish, then tug hard enough to pop the water, and stop. The next pull the Bass will jump into the air with the lure, trying to spit it out - so be prepared to keep up the tension. My grandfather taught me that.

These are 2 standards that really work. I caught more pickerel than anyone I know using Al's.

Answer 2

First, don't go crazy with new tackle. Build confidence in what you've got. Right now I would be tossing that Rapala in the mornings and evening and bouncing those plastic worms during the warmest part of the day. If you want to make a purchase, I would recommend a couple top water lures like Rebel's Pop-R or my favorite, the Heddon Torpedo.

Merle i'm hoping you do not recommendations me answering all 3 questions right here. The least rod action you could bypass with is heavy and that i could make it a 6 a million/2 foot a million piece pitching carry on with an particularly speedy retrieve bait casting or small point wind reel like the millionaire with the help of daiwa or calcutta with the help of shimano the line might desire to be 15 -18 pound vast game trilene for musky and pike and that i could additionally use (recommend) low visibility green. Baits could might desire to be larger dollar tails and larger in line spinners or spinner baits that are additionally extensive. titanium and stainless blended so some distance as what the baits metals might desire to be and forged long and much into coves that at the instant are not too deep yet full of weeds and hydrilla and save the blades of the baits decrease than the exterior yet particularly. the terrific approach is to in no way wreck the exterior with the baits yet retrieve them as speedy as you could making them trip the comparable direction through fact the wind and or modern-day. use the rod tip to fairly replace the baits direction throughout the time of the retrieve and bypass around stumps and visual weed strains. for the walleye you should use a medium action from 6 a million/2' to 7 a million/2' yet i could stay with a one piece or maybe though you're maximum accustomed too you could the two use spinning or time-honored. The excursion likes spinning kit. i could use 8 pound try green trilene XL and drop fluourscent leadheads with leeches to the backside everywhere my electronics mentioned a raised hump ( 20 - 30 toes deep ) or a rock pile growing to be a minimum of four toes off the backside.

I have two small boxes, one is soft plastics, the other has the hard plastic lures. My lures consist of a couple of poppers (one is blue & chrome the other is a frog colored top with a red/orange under) a zebra striped Devils Horse, a couple of floater/diver Rapalas, and a tiny torpedo. The worm box has a 4 inch lizards in 2 colors and u-tailed Zoom worms in about 6 different colors (that I usually trim to about 4 or 5 inches long). Colors of choice are tequila sunrise, motor oil, black w/ red glitter (u-tail & lizard), black w/ red glitter & chartruese tail, watermelon w/ red glitter ( u-tail & lizard), and black w/ red tail.

Answer 7

Like my friend Dwight M. always said, " all lures are good , it's the presentation that makes them catch fish" and he proved that to me many times !!!!!!!!!!!!!! for instance the "Jitterbug" I always heard how good they were,and i BOUGHT 4 OR 5 of them, of different colors. For a very long time, I never caught the first fish on them. One day I got a massive tangle in my reel, so I went to the bank and started untangling, I needed something reasonably heavy to cast out with to get the rest of the tangles out. I put on a Jitterbug , cast it out , while working on the line I would twitch it every now and then . I would pull and make it wobble and twitch, and then Wham, man you wouldn't believe the bass I caught on it, and I have been using them ever since !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
