I was just curious how often you guys find lures on lakes and ponds you fish,  and if you do find them whens the best time of year to get the most, here on long island new york my fishing buddy and i get antsy and fish when its kind of early and hard to buy a bite, during the first few weeks of april we are out on the lake, besides just enjoying bass fishin we are scouring the entire lake for lost lures of other fishermen, my friend says i have an eagle eye, in early spring i usually find 2 lures a trip, it might be realy corny but i absolutely love finding lures and adding them to my already fleet. It gives me a happy feeling.

I like looking for lures When the water is low I find a bunch or up in trees in the spring. Places that bank fishermen use can hold a ton of lures

Always looking for lures when fishing and I buy a lot of found lures. With a repaint and new hardware the price is right.

I have found a few rusty crankbaits on the shoreline, could not use them.

Im a bank fisherman, i found tons of lures around trees and by edges of shallow water. Many bank fisherman loss their lures to snaggs.

I find lots of crankbaits and jerkbaits hung up in the many laydowns in the Pamunkey River during low tide.

I've found all sorts of stuff. Alot of it is unuseable but I've found an almost new DT-10, an original rapala and a floating rogue among other things.

I find a bunch of lures and im like WTH most are crankbaits with like 2 oz weights connected to um or some other strange contraption ;D

When I go fishing, I am looking to catch fish.  The best way to catch fish is to keep the bait in the water, and to closely watch the line.  In addition, one must concentrate on any change in the feel of the line.  When I am actively fishing, I could care less about finding lures, unless I'm trying to retrieve my own.  ;D

I find a couple lures a year.

My best find to date was a lobina rico popper.

this is a 20 buck bait.  And man, it works.

I still have it. and now a few others.

last week my little brother caught a rod! it wasnt a good one, but it had a nice rat l trap on it  ;D. At burke lake (a small lake near my house) It is electric only with alot of structure, my brother thought he was snagged and felt coming lose, so he pulled it in with a crankbait, egg weights, rat l traps, and some other things, we coudlve got out with like 5 lures but most were just too gross to take with us.

Basspro48, those are all mine. Can I have them back?

The last one I found was mine that I got caught in the roof of an old tin shed on the Chickahominy. The plastic worm was in bad shape but the hook and sinker were in excellent condition.

I did find a yellow spinnerbait in the James River by my house a few years ago when we had a bad drought and we could walk across the river.  I just looked down and there it was.

I look in the trees, too, but usually its not for lures. Its for snakes, bees and wasps in addition to poision ivy and oak.

And I can see a few of my lures in a tree on the pond I fish.  I put everyone there, too.

best time for me is mid summer, that when people loose alot of lures. When you bank fish, you can ask other fisherman if they had any luck, and if their experienced they sometimes help you.

I usually find lures when bank fishing, I have also caught some lures too. Most are unusable but some I hold on to

I don't find lures They find me. One of the hazards of fishing with the other mook He never looks behind him when he is casting YIKES

Couldn't you go walk on the ice and search the brush and trees near the bank?

Finding lures can be fun.  Finding a whole tackle box is better. I once found an old two tray Old Pal tackle box stuck in the mud along the bank on a small pond once.  I managed to pull about 3 antique lures out of the thing that were worth saving, everything else was ruined.  It was still quite a treat.

Every time I go to Academy, Gander Mountain, Lake Charles Tackle, or Wal-Mart  :-/

I usually don't really bother looking for lures while I'm out fishing. However, I do sometimes stumble upon one while switching spots. I have found a perfectly good Mepps Aglia Roster Tail that got caught in some bushes on the bank and I have found a Baby Bomber A Crank that was hanging from a tree that was in good shape. Other than that most of the stuff I find is in pretty bad shape and I just throw it and any line it may be attached to in the closest trash can.

I find most my lures when the river level is low mid summer is the best the water drops and I walk the banks fishing I happen upon a lure now and then.
