Lure/Tactic Selection

Featured Replies

I am going to a new pond on tommorow.  The weather conditions for this area is suppose to be partly cloudy with temps being around 65 degrees.  I tried finding info on dept and etc but no luck.  What would be some good lures and tactics to try.  Thanks.

Senko rigged wacky and fished weedless. Light 6 pound line.  Fished on a spinning rig. Fished slow.

Senko rigged Texas-style fished weedless and with a light 1/8 pegged bullet weight or if possible, only a red bead above the hook. On light 6 pound line on a spinning rig. Fished slow.

Crankbait. Shad color. 10 pound line fished on a baitcaster. Try to find fish before you get snagged and lose your bait.

Spinnerbait. White or White and Charturuse. 1/4 or 3/8 fished on a baitcaster. If water clear and not cloudy, use silver willow leaf blades.  If water is stained or overcast, use copper willow leaf blades. Fish fast and slow.

Brown jig and pig fished on a baitcaster.  If possible, 4 pound diamater 30-pound braid. Otherwise, 10 pound flurocarbon. Fish it slow on the bottom to imitate crawfish walking slowly. Do not raise rod tip more than one or two inches as you do not want to "yo-yo" bait as crawfish do not "yo-yo" when they move on the bottom.  Be ready to set hook if line feels "mushy" or "heavy."

Rat-L-Trap in chrome and black back and also red crawfish on baitcaster.  Try 1/4 ounce traps. Fish fast and slow to see what they prefer.

Be sure to fish slow, too.

To find the fish throw the crankbait.  If they miss, follow up with a Senko to the same area.

Same with spinnerbait.

Fish Senkos and watch your line.  If they are feeding they will "walk away" with the bait.

Pitch jig into wood or other cover/structure.

The guys will have other info for you to consider, too.

Good luck.

Sam pretty much covered it except i would say if all else fails go finesse, light line and smaller baits and finesse them in.
