Lures


Crankbaits:
Crankbaits are very easy lures to use. They do not 
require much knowledge to use. The best way to retrieve 
them for largemouth bass is a stop and go retrieve. Use 
brightly coloured lures in muddy or stained water. Also, 
in low visibility water use crankbaits with rattles in 
them. Fish these lures close to cover, but watch out, 
the many treble hooks hanging off of it can cause snags. 
In clear water do not bother using crankbaits. The fish 
can see the obvious hooks and will notice it as a fake. 

Grubs:
Grubs can be used many ways. The most common way to 
retrieve them are a vertical jigging motion or to crawl 
it along any cover. When jigging it vertically the bass 
seem to eat the lure mostly on the downfall. Crawling 
the lure can make the lure appear as a crawfish scurrying 
along the bottom of the lake. Using a lead head rig is 
most common for grubs, but when fish are very finicky 
use the split shot rig. The split shot rig is a more 
subtle way to represent the lure. In clear water use 
small grubs with natural colours (ex. Pumpkinseed or 
smoke), while in murky water use bright colours (ex. 
Chartreuse).


Plastic Worms:
Worms are a favourite lure among bass fisherman. These 
lures can be used in many different ways. The most common 
way to rig a plastic worm is texas style. The texas rig 
allows the lure to be virtually 100 percent weedless 
because th point of the hook is actually hidden in the 
lure itself. In clear water use a smaller plastic worm 
with the lightest weight possible. In murky water do not 
be afraid to use a brightly coloured worm, even though 
the purple and black coloured worms seem to be a favourite 
among most anglers.

* The Attack on a USS Liberty - At Last The Truth Revealed *

One of the most probing videos ever produced on a little known,
but brutal incident that involved Israel, attempting to sink 
an American ship. In June of 1967, the American ship USS 
Liberty was attacked and the subject of the largest cover-up in 
Naval history. This video clearly shows that Israel, despite 
their denials, purposely attacked the USS Liberty. 34 US 
crewman died and it has taken 34 years for the surviving 
veterans to begin the process of justice. Why did Israel attack 
the US ship? Why did Israel strafe the life rafts? Why was this 
top secret until now? Brilliant and powerful you won't want to 
miss this landmark video. To order or for more informaiton visit:

Spinnerbaits:
Spinnerbaits do not represent anything natural on the 
largemouth bass' diet, but nevertheless, it is proven 
to be a very good lure. The willow type blade gives off 
the most flash, making it good for clear water. The 
colorado type blade gives off the most vibration and 
noise, making it the spinnerbait of choice for stained 
water. Spinnerbaits with rounded heads can be fished 
slowly for inactive fish, while the pointed head 
spinnerbaits seem to be the most snag proof. Spinnerbaits 
with short arms are best to use in open areas. The long 
armed spinnerbaits are more weed proof. Spinnerbaits 
with only one blade are best used for active fish but 
require a faster retrieve to keep the blade moving. Two 
bladed spinnerbaits are best for working inactive fish 
very slowly or else in murky water. Spinnerbaits can be 
retrieved in very many different ways. Experiment with 
the retrieve speed and style until you get the right one.

Top Water:
Top water baits can be a very fun lure to use. Seeing a 
big old largemouth bass jump out of the water to hit 
your bait is a real thrill. Top water baits are best 
used in low light conditions. Bass are light sensitive, 
therefore, they do not like looking into light. During 
low light times of the day (ex. Overcast days, morning,
night, or extremely cloudy times) bass could go crazy 
over top water lures. To use top water lures to their 
most effectiveness, fish them using the low light times 
when the water is calm and in shallow water. Top water 
lures include, Prop baits, buzzbaits, frogs, and minnows.

                  FISHING JOKES CORNER
------------------------------------------------------------

A kind-hearted fellow was walking through Central Park
in New York and was astonished to see an old man, fishing
rod in hand, fishing over a beautiful bed of lillies.

"Tsk Tsk!" said the passerby to himself. "What a sad sight.
That poor old man is fishing over a bed of flowers. I'll
see if I can help." So the kind fellow walked up to the old
man and asked, "What are you doing, my friend?"

"Fishin', sir."

"Fishin', eh. Well how would you like to come have a drink
with me?"

The old man stood put his rod away and followed the kind
stranger to the corner bar. He ordered a large glass of beer
and a fine cigar.

His host, the kind fellow, felt good about helping the old man,
and he asked, "Tell me, old friend, how many did you catch this
morning?"

The old fellow took a long drag on the cigar, blew a careful
smoke ring and replied, "You are the sixth today, sir!"
