RE: Florida Road Trip 2013
No, it's not any harder to fish than any other jerkbaits or walk-the-dog lures...you are simply working the lure faster since Smacks like to chase.
You need a lure that can cast out a good distance to cover water...and especially if the fish are shying away from the pier or they are situated in deeper water. But to make it a little more complicated, Smacks often chase anchovies, herring and small mullet...and to imitate them you need lures around 2-3" in length. Most lures around that size are too light to cast a long distance, especially topwater lures that are hollow and designed to float. Topwater lures do work...but it's only great if the fish are within a relatively short casting distance. People do have good success with X-Rap 8 in Ghost. Personally, that lure has caught me other saltwater fish as well so I always have one handy and available. Malama o ke kai Caution - Objects in picture are smaller than they appear. I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger. Life List: 577 species and counting (2016: 91 new species) http://muskiebaitadventures.blogspot.ca/...-list.html |
