This one lake I've fished for over 40 years has taught me one thing: expect the unexpected. Some fish locations are seasonal and predictable, but others, after the spawn not so much. Case in point: I always fish in shallow water on flats where spawns take place. Once the spawn is done, many fish...

ouch!

Many lures are made to catch fishermen and have done so for decades - many of them of limited or no use.

Excellent reply and in line with my take on lures! Couldn't have said it better, Thanks for posting a relevant answer to the question of what lures to use, when and where.

BTW, this is one of many posts on different forums expressing appreciation for my posted tips and ideas: I could post web site addresses for more examples, but you get the idea.

Feeshy most certainly does say a lot about a Lure. I can't imagine what...... Sad when all you can Senkosam is run from one forum to another to another with your pseudo intellectual attitude, bantering about the physics and dynamics of lures as they relate to fishing. Talk about ignoring...

No problem except: A lure that looks feeshy doesn't say anything about a lure - your adjective not mine. If you mean the spinner's design looks like it may trigger fish strikes, I get it. I assume you have way more experience than your grandson and know the difference.

Define feeeshy (or fishy). It is not a lure I would carry or cast seeing as how there are far more versatile - feeeshy if you will - lures that have better strike-triggers-by-design. The Micro Chatterbait is one of many. The old fashion Beetle Spin is another.

Always fished the Delaware for smallies. Never caught a trout in that river. Did though in the Neversink R. near Port Jervis. Back with gas at $.55/ gal., an hour to a fishing spot driving my 8 cylinder was nothing. Forget it now!

Looks like a Mepps combo Comet Spinner that can be rigged weedless with a wide gap hook.

I should have characterized the two lure designs individually starting with the Micro Chatterbait: an underwater, non-spinning, non-inline/non clevis flat-metal blade with swinging-jig-attached that produces maximal vibration to a skirt or trailer and moreso than bladed baits in general...

F/u on the Micro Chatterbait. I used only the skirt rather than the worm. I went fishing for a few hours and my first fish was a 2.5 lb bass taken on the one shown in the pads. The skirt was shortened and no trailer was used. The second fish caught was a 1.5lb bass - same cover. Man, am I...

It's a white perch - no relation to yellow perch. The lake I fish has many that can be caught in a day. So far, their presence hasn't affected the numbers of other fish species in the lake.

Now that I've posted many photos of soft plastics that have caught all kinds of fish, I've found another fish-trigger lure type I want to investigate: blade baits. A month ago I restarted using the Beetle Spin which I've kept photos of with fish caught since 2017. (Good reason for keeping a...
