Thanks I've discovered some key ideas about lure design that fish strike most. Many lures I've used recently have no action-tails like that of a Mr. Twister grub or Sassy Shad. In fact recently a perch was caught on a lure that resembles a bullet. One would think that a lure...

UPDATE: water temp 40; air temp over 50. four species of fish using my hand poured minnow grub and Bobby Garland's pearl Baby Shad dyed chartreuse with Spike-It. I found that using a 1/32 oz jig head worked better than the 1/16 oz. More important are the new locations I'm catching fish. Up until...

"I sure do miss all the small lakes, as well as Lake George and Champlain." As a veteran, I finally got access to West Point Lakes even though I'm not disabled. (The policy was changed this year.) Peace and quiet as well as some quality fishing! Ahhhh.... and only 40 min. from home.
