What lures should I use today?
To give you the best advice on which fishing lures to use for today's conditions, I'll need a bit more information about the specific environment you're fishing in. Factors like water temperature, clarity, weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, windy), and the time of year can greatly influence the choice of lures.
For example, if you're fishing in cold water conditions, you might want to opt for smaller and slower-moving baits as bass tend to be less active and won't chase after fast-moving lures. In this case, consider using finesse baits like Ned rigs, wacky worms, or small swimbaits.
If the water is clear and it's a sunny day, you might find success with natural-colored lures that mimic the local forage, such as shad or crawfish. In murky or stained water, brighter or darker lures can be more effective as they stand out better to bass.
On a windy day with choppy water, a lipless crankbait or a spinnerbait could be a good choice as these lures can attract bass that are actively feeding on baitfish pushed around by the wind.
Remember, these are just starting points. Bass can be unpredictable, and sometimes it takes a bit of experimentation to find out what they're biting on any given day. If you can provide me with more details about the conditions you're facing, I can offer a more tailored lure selection for your fishing trip today.
