Ahhh, the alure of the lures.... A couple of ways to help determine what you need...

- Decide what fish you are going for and determine their typical size and select an appropriate sized lure or crank. A good start would be to google "catching bass in Ontario"
- The next choice is colour. You can either go for different or same; Different from what the fish is used to (bright colors) entice a strike or the same a fish is used to (such as perch).
- Read up on the various types of lures... For example I am fan of rapalla cranks and lures; So I skimmed their selection, cross referenced my research. I also went to youtube and googled the crank and lure to see how it works and reviews. This helped.
- I also try to mix it up especially when shore fishing... Have some top waters, some shallow and some deep;

A thing to remember is that when shore fishing in urban areas there tends to be more fishing pressure so the fish are not as quick in coming as up at the cottage.

My favorite for the past couple of months has been live bait (minnows and worms) this has worked out well for me. In the end what matters most is doing the leg work to find the best spot.

Buying lures and cranks can be expensive and add up. Before purchasing, always understand how the new lure/crank will fit in with your current inventory and determine how you would be using it.
