When To Add Color To Your Bass Fishing Lures

adding color to lures
Even though lures come in every imaginable color today, savvy anglers prefer coloring their own masterpieces because they know their artwork gives them an advantage over competitors.
You can also gain an advantage over other anglers by adding a dash of color to your favorite lures for a new look bass find appealing to the eye.
Innovations in marking pens and dip dyes can turn even novices into lure-coloring Picassos. A wide range of color combinations are available so any angler can become adept at marking or dipping soft plastic baits.
Dipping plastic worms in dye makes it easier for you to cut down on your color choices. You can buy four or five different color worms and then with those worms you can dye any color tail you want on the bait.
Choosing the dye color for dipping the tail of your plastic worm or swimbait depends on the water clarity you will be fishing. In murky water, dip the worm in orange, chartreuse or another bright fluorescent color to give the lure a bright tail. You can also dip the worm in lighter shades of red or chartreuse in clear water so bass can see the tail easier. You can also touch up your lures for clear water with more subtle colors such as watermelon, amber, black and blue or even tiny dashes of chartreuse and orange.
Fishing pressure has made bass more conditioned to certain lures and color patterns so changing hues on various parts of a lure can give you an edge. This type of lure coloring requires finer detailing, so you will need a marker pen such as a Sharpie or Spike-It Scent Marker for touching up your lures. The pen allows you to color just the pincer tips of plastic craws or tiny legs of plastic lizards.
When sight fishing with tube baits, you can add a dash of color to trigger a strike. If you get a bass you can see but it won’t hit, then put a stripe down the side of the tube, color the tip of the tail or draw eyes on it with the marker pen. A clear silver-flake or smoke silver-flake tube is ideal for drawing eyes, gills and black or blue stripes on the lure.
Your lure coloring probably won’t impress any art critics, but your work will present a new look that appeals to even the most finicky bass.

Hot Fishing Spots - Saginaw Bay, MI

图片
Saginaw Bay is a large, relatively shallow basin along the western shore of Lake Huron that has become one of the nation's top walleye fisheries. A combination of national walleye tournaments and the outdoor media have focused attention on the excellent fishing. Thousands of fishermen and pleasure boaters are attracted to the many excellent marinas, campgrounds and recreational facilities that are available around the bay. Saginaw Bay is considered one of the most productive and fertile areas of the Great Lakes, but in recent history, the ecosystem of the bay had fallen out of balance. Populations of previously abundant predators, including walleye, northern pike and catfish, collapsed and allowed other less desirable species such as carp and white sucker to become over abundant. However, yearly plantings of fingerling began in 1979 and are credited with re-establishing the walleye population. Currently, walleye and yellow perch dominate the fishery and are by far the most

Sense of smell - fish facts

Sense of smell - fish facts Fishes are equipped with a range of senses. Vision is an obvious one. Research has shown that different fish species see different colours better, even into the UV part of the spectrum. Most fish can also sense vibrations (‘hearing’) to a greater or lesser degree through their lateral lines, ears, and swim bladders. Sharks and rays are particularly sensitive to the minute electrical fields put out by living creatures, and some species use this facility to hunt out prey buried under bottom sediment. Many fish also have a good sense of taste. One of the primary senses for most (although not all) fish species is smell. Technically called ‘olfaction’, smell is a major sense and is used for many different things. These include: finding a home area or a spawning ground (in recent experiments some sharks have been shown to use their sense of smell for navigation); recognising other fish of their group or species; when spawning; and for avoiding predators.

3 Topwater Baits You Can Throw Around The Spawn

图片
When the bass spawn is fully on, most bass become lethargic and finicky. The spawn wears largemouths down, and if you want to catch them, you’ll have to adjust. During the spawn, or just after the spawn, when bass are still in the shallows and around vegetation or shallow cover, a subtle topwater can be just what you need to get yourself a bite. Here are 3 types of topwaters you can use to fish the spawn and post spawn. Pencil Popper Half popper, half walker…half spook. The pencil popper is a slim walking bait with a slightly cupped mouth, and a “walk the dog” action. These baits are subtle in their action and fun to fish. Mixing up the cadence on these is sure to eventually trigger a strike around the shallows. Prop Bait When bass are a bit more easily spooked in shallow water, whether they are hiding under vegetation or around cover, a prop bait is a great choice. They have a little more weight so you can cast them across your target and wind them back, and their bubbly trai
