Crankin tips to improve your fishing success

If you are getting no strikes on your jig or rig, try to go to deeper water so the lure can imitate a crawfish digging into the bottom of the lake.

If you find yourself fishing in muddy or murky water, you want to find a lure that kind of stands out in the water. It is recommended that you should use a ½ oz. Gold or silver spinnerbait when fishing in these conditions. A single blade lure is just the thing for a successful day of fishing. Basically, you want something for the fish to locate and lock onto to strike the lure in dark water. The Colorado lure is also a highly recommended lure for these types of waters due to the vibration and the coloration, which make it easier for the fish to find.

Cold weather can prove hard for fishing because the fish are less active so you will have to make them strike your lure. In these conditions, I recommend using smaller lures. Lures that weigh about a quarter to an eighth of an ounce should work the best. Many companies manufacture these lures for catching crappie or sunfish but they work great on bass when cold weather rolls in. you should also use a lighter line when fishing with this size of lure. I recommend using a six-pound test. Small fish like these lures, but the big ones are also attracted to them to.

Many anglers would never cat into a bed of fallen debris of underwater obstacles because of the risk of loosing their favorite lure or crankbait. If you properly fish around these dangers, you can successfully catch fish while saving your lure. All you need to do if you are reeling your line in and it gets snagged is stop reeling and give some slack in the line.

Sometimes the lure will float up and get unstuck by itself. These lures are designed to get into the heavy cover where fish like large like to hide. Most other anglers will try to fish the sides of this type of cover but if you use the timber or floating lures you will catch the ones that are in the brush.
