Saltwater Fishing Lures - How to Choose
Choosing the best saltwater fishing lures for your next fishing trip can be a daunting task. A walk through the local tackle shop or browsing the pages of available options on the web can be overwhelming. Does it really matter what type of saltwater fishing lures you use to attract your fish? It does matter, but the good news is that there is plenty of information available to you to help you to choose the right lures for saltwater fishing every time.
It is extremely difficult to say what is the very best lure for each fish, because so much depends on where and when you are fishing, what time of year and what time of day you are fishing, and, to a large degree, what your own personal preference is. There are so many lures available it is often pretty much a case of choosing based on a few common sense rules of thumb, old standby knowledge, budgetary considerations, and personal preference, but here are some of the standard types of lures that have withstood the test of time, and the species of fish for which they work the best.
The minnolure has been an often relied upon lure for over fifty years. This lure is particularly effective for trout both in chartreuse and the new trout blue color that is becoming quite popular with trout fishermen everywhere. This particular lure is available in a variety of colors such as different hues of orange and green and coffee colors, but the new trout blue and old standard chartreuse has proven to be superior in performance.
The sea shad electric chicken is a grub tail that has a swimming action. It has a color combination that catches lots of fish even when other lures fail. If you want to successfully fish cuts, oyster bars, and channel edges, just use it on a half ounce jig head, and you will be pleased with the results.
The pink and white speck grub is similar to a swimming grub, but it has a swimming tail on it. Often when fish have been heavily fished with a swimming grub, they learn to be weary of them, and if this is the case, the pink and white speck grub might be a good choice to substitute.
Smithwick Devil's Horse is another great lure. In black and yellow, it has propellers on each end, and makes a sound on the water's surface that really calls the fish to it. Trout generally seem to be curious about top water sound, and this lure closely mimics the sound of fish chasing bait, so they really react when they hear this lure.
If you are saltwater fishing, and bonefish is on your must catch list, it is good to know that more fishermen have caught bonefish on a Millies Bucktail than probably any other lure. You might also try weedless jigs like the backbone lure type of jigs, if you are fishing in areas where the water is foul. Just remember to keep your jig fairly close to the bottom, and jig slowly if you are in deeper water with mudding fish present.
If your goal is to catch mackerel, consider diamond shaped, gold or silver spoons in sizes ranging from a 1 to a 3 in order to effectively manage the bigger fish you are likely to encounter. If you are fishing the surface for King Mackrel, use a cedar plug.
If striped bass are your quarry, jigs, poppers, and lures that imitate bait fish seem to work well.

fly fishing question?
i am sort of new to fly fishing, i went trout fishing today in our river, pretty good current, but i did not even have a bite when i know they are in there because i see them flashing every now and then, i threw a popper, and my other best fly that i cant remember the name of, so if there are any suggestions i would love any advice anyone could give thank you!
Unfortunately, there are lots and lots and lots of reasons why the fish might have refused your flies. There's no way to know for sure, but here are some major considerations.
Fly choice. More than any other kind of fishing, choosing your lure really, really matters in fly fishing. You not only have to know what is available for fish to eat in your area, you have to know what is available that very day and that very hour. You have to watch to see if the fish are feeding and what they're feeding on. Barring that, you have to grub around in the water, kick over some rocks and find out what's floating around. Then you have to imitate that forage. How to fix this: learn about aquatic insects and other fish forage, and also learn about the fly patterns that imitate them.
Presentation. When you present a fly to fish, you are trying to imitate the stuff that fish naturally eat. The fish know what these prey items look like on and in the water, so not only must you find a fly pattern that looks right, you must make that artificial fly behave naturally in the water. If you or your leader or your fly line pulls on the fly, it will drag and create unnatural ripples. You must also consider depth and placement on the stream -- there are places where fish feed and places they don't. Obviously, presenting a fly to empty water is not productive. How to fix this: same as the solution above and the solution below.
Casting. When I started fly fishing, I had a big problem with slapping the water with my line and leader. My line would roll across the water so violently that it looked like someone just rode past on a ten-speed bike at maximum speed. I scared MANY fish to the bottom. Ideally, you line should come to rest lightly on the water and cause little or no disturbance. How to fix this: practice casting.
Wading and movement. The fish can see you. You are in the water with them. Pay attention to where they are and what they're doing. Approach the water slowly and stop periodically to look. Kneel or sit on the bank and screen yourself with vegetation, if you can. Stalk fish from downstream, if possible. Once you're in the water, move slow -- the waves you make can alert the fish to your presence. If you storm into your stream like a hippo, you'll put the fish down. How to fix this: slow down and be sneaky.
That's four biggies for you to work on. The process of learning to fly fish is a lot easier with a mentor or teacher -- consider schmoozing up to someone who knows how to fly fish or maybe take a class. Barring that, get some videos or books and try to absorb any knowledge you can. Videos are particularly helpful because you can see casting and presentation in actual action.
Good luck and remember -- a day of fishing and not catching is better than not fishing.
