How To Catch Redfish - Find out how to catch redfish on your next fishing tour. Redfish - I prefer weed less jigs for catching redfish but you can catch redfish on top water, spinnerbaits, shallow divers or rubber worms. Sometimes I will use a combination of these to catch redfish. I have been fishing for redfish in Southwest Florida for twenty years and I've tried every kind of bait available. I still take along a bag of jigs when I want to catch a redfish. LUV's Lures rubber jigs are one of the best I've seen to catch redfish and they are inexpensive to purchase. The come in many colors but the pink, lime green and root beer are my favorite colors. I like the straight stub tails instead of the curly tails, but both are very effective for redfish and trout.

11 Pound Largemouth Bass Caught On A Spinnerbaits
Southwest Florida Fishing Guides I went fishing this weekend to sample some of the lures we used in the March 2010 Costa Rica Rainbow Bass lure evaluations to see how Florida Bass would react to them. My fishing outfit was already rigged with a rubber worm and my partner wanted to fish topwater so I gave the worm quiet a bit of effort before changing baits. My fishing partner had been using topwater plugs for about two hours and no bites at all. I switched over to one of the Stanley Lure Spinnerbaits that had caught a lot of rainbow bass during our last lure evaluation event. I couldn't believe it! I caught a 5 lb largemouth in less than a minute. My fishing partner felt it was only the location we had drifted into, but decided to change over to a rubber worm so he could fish the submerged tree limbs. That day I caught six nice bass on that same spinnerbait. My fishing partner didn't catch any. I went to Dick's Sports and purchased an arm load of the Stanley Wedge Spinnerbaits the next day.
I contacted Stanley for the item number so our
readers could order them directly online. You
got to try these spinnerbaits!

Top water Largemouth Bass Fishing Top water - Top water lures are some of my most favorite baits. I love the action of the strike on top water. The sudden explosion of the fish at the surface at the bait. As a kid growing up in Virginia my dad taught me how to top water fish for smallmouth bass at a very early age. I've been hooked on it ever since. I use top water lures for bass, Muskie, pike, redfish, snook, tarpon, sea trout and many other species. Most fish will hit a top water in the right conditions. Of course, it's all about presenting your lure to the fish in the appropriate manner for the existing conditions. I like big top water lures. The bigger the better for catching big trophy fish.

Rubber Worms Fishing Worms - When I first moved to Florida over 20 years ago everyone was talking about rubber worms. I bet you I must have fished a rubber worm for several months on the private lake we lived on. Nothing! One day I saw a fishing workshop being held at a local fishing tackle store. I stopped in to see what they had to say and I explained how I had fished for bass all my life in Virginia but could not even get a strike here in Florida. Well it was summer and the water temperatures were quite high, so he gave me some tips. First, he rigged up a weed less worm on a Carolina rig. He took a 7 inch Mann Red Shad rubber worm, inserted a red # 4 worm hook into it and used a Red colored bullet sinker in 1/4 ounce. Once the line was attached to the hook, he inserted a tooth pick into the front of the sinker where the line comes out to secure the sinker. He instructed me to toss the worm rig out and let it sink and rest on the bottom for a few minutes and then slowly lift my rod tip all the way up. This action dragged the worm slowly across the bottom. I would then stop and lower my rod cranking up the slack in the line and repeat this action again. I caught a 7 pound bass on the first cast. So, it's all about fishing correctly in the water and wind conditions. We will be also be doing a rubber worm evaluation and water test in the near future. Bass Assassin 7 inch Grape Worms

Jigs - I had been fishing in the Southwest Florida Gulf Coast flats for several years for trout, snook and redfish using every new lure that came out in the tackle stores. I was having some pretty successful fishing trips and invited a friend to go fishing with me on day. When we got on the water, I pulled out my big tackle box with countless lure combinations to fish for the day. I noticed he only had one small jig to fish with so I asked him if he wanted to use some of my lures. He replied, no and you will be wanting to use one of my lures before the day is over. He was using a 1/8 to 1/4 ounce LUV Lures jigs available at Target, and almost any local tackle shop. I tell you he caught trout, flounder, redfish, snook and lady fish like crazy. He made my loaded tackle box look ridiculous. I could not believe how successful he was fishing for all varieties with one very inexpensive lure. A 1/8 ounce pink jig with a straight tail, not the curly one. He made a believer out of me that day and now I never hit the water without a collection of LUV's Lures jigs in my tackle box. In fact my wife won't fish with anything else. She likes to catch fish when she goes and she knows the pink jig will. The rigs usually come in a package of two and they are tied together to make a tandem rig. I cut the leaders off so I have two separate jigs and I tie them on one at a time. I usually don't fish with a tandem jig setup, except maybe for fishing schooling sea trout. Loves Lures Strike Again Southwest Florida Fishing Guides Lures That Catch Fish --> Back To Home
2010 Lures That Catch Fish Crank Baits Crank Baits - Crank Baits are available in many sizes, colors and diving depths. The bill size will mostly determine the diving depth. Crank baits are available that are capable of fishing depth from 2 feet to 30 feet. Many species of fish are near the shoreline during the cooler mornings and evenings, but move off shore to deeper water levels to find a thermo cline of compatible temperature zone. As the day heats us the shallow shoreline will get to hot for the fish and they go off in search of that special temperature they are looking for. When scout fishing for bass make long casts at different angles to completely cover the water. Start with a shallow crank bait and go deeper as you need to for strikes. Once you get a few strikes you can focus on that particular water depth on the lake or river. During 2010 we're mostly doing Spinnerbait evaluations, however we are evaluating crankbaits as well. As in the spinnerbaits above we'll be giving the crank bait a complete workout in different waters in different conditions to see which crank baits will catch the most fish.

Trolling Plugs The Best Lures For Catching Grouper: Grouper Fishing
Trolling Plugs - I had lived in Southwest Florida for 15 years and fished all over Pine Island Sound. I had a couple offshore boats that we went up to 50 miles offshore fishing for Gag Grouper. We'd usually spend $400 or more in gas and bait and usually come home empty handed. Sometimes we'd catch a couple keepers out of 5 fishermen on the boat. Then I made an unbelievable discovery. I don't have to go 20 to 40 miles offshore to catch BIG gag grouper. They come in close to shore a couple months every year for spawning. When I say in close to shore, I mean as shallow as 25 feet or less of water. Big 30+ gag grouper. In the last few years we have enjoyed a fantastic fishery on gag grouper in shallow Southwest Florida Gulf Coast fishing waters. I fish exclusively with big deep diving plugs for gag grouper now. I don't even use cut or live bait anymore.

Register To Help Evaluate Lures Tarpon Fishing How To Catch Tarpon There are several methods to successfully catch Tarpon including running the beaches ahead of the advancing school of tarpon and dropping cut bait such as catfish on the bottom in front of them. This is one common tactic used by the local tarpon fishing clubs. When a big tarpon grabs the bait you'll know it! Another successful method is to wait until the tarpon go through the passes and into the Pine Island Bay area. You can see them rolling throughout the bay. Now's a great time to catch them on live baits like shiners or lures that look like shiners or fiddler crabs. It's easy to tell where the school is as there will be several hundred boats sitting around waiting for them to surface again. My favorite way to catch Tarpon is on a jig and lead sinker while the Tarpon are in the passes. The best pass is Boca Grande, Florida and the fish can be big - 200+lbs. Again you can tell where the tarpon are as there will be many boats drifting in the pass and trying to hook up with a monster. The fishing is straight forward as you only need to drop a weighted jig to the bottom and wait for a bite. It's not that simple though as there are things you must be aware of. First the fish only feed when they are on the bottom, not the surface. Although you may see thousand's of tarpon on the surface they will rarely bite. It's when the school goes to the bottom that they feed and are catchable on jigs. Many times there will be multiple hookups and you must be careful not to get to close to a hooked tarpon as he may jump into your boat with you. I have seen this on several occasions. Last year a hooked tarpon jumped into a boat full of green fishermen and it almost destroyed the boat jumping around. The folks in the boat jumped out of the boat into the pass where there were huge hammerheads and bull sharks feeding on the tarpon. A couple experienced fishing guides came over and jumped into the boat with the flopping tarpon and threw him overboard and rescued the men in the water. When fishing a lead jig on the bottom in the passes, you don't need to jerk you fishing rod to induce action on the jig. The action of the boat going up and down is enough to work the jig. The idea is to try to get out in front of the pack an drop your rig down for them to come to it. It does require a lot of moving around with the boat and you need to leave the motor running so you can get out of the way of others. Try to keep your lure as close to the bottom as possible. You need to be just off the bottom less than a foot so you won't get hung up on the rocks. The tarpon will usually hit right off the bottom as well. If you get a strike you need to point your rod at the tarpon and reel as fast as you can until you can't crank any more. This drives the hook home. About this time the tarpon will probably be making a jump anyway. When the tarpon jumps out of the water you need to drop you rod tip down quickly. It's important to release the pressure on the line as the fish jumps, otherwise he will throw your lead jig. You can tell when the tarpon is about to jump as the line will start heading toward the surface at an angle. So be ready to drop your rod when the tarpon breaks the surface. If you are successful in the hookup and keeping the fish during the jumping, you will have to chase the tarpon with your boat. Get a comfortable seat up front with a belt rod holder so you can settle in and chase the tarpon for up to an hour or more. The hooked tarpon will go all around the pass until it tires out. Then you can bring him to the boat and release him. Be aware of the sharks in the water as you release the fish or the sharks will get him as he will be tired from the fight.
