Knowledge On Salmon Fishing Lures

By Kenya England


Fishing is a form of art besides being a hobby. You need to know more than just hooking baits and plopping the fishing rod in water for the activity to be productive. You have to know the prey preferred by the fish you are targeting. The fishing time should be right and the method used should be suitable too. Salmon fishing lures should be chosen carefully.

Lax is lured by various baits but if the fishing technique is not right then it will be hard to catch them. That is why you should understand the basic types of the lures and how to use them before embarking on the fishing trip.

Live lures have been in use since the ancient times. The merit of using such bait is that it can move on its own because it is alive. Its smell disperses in water too attracting the fish. Salmon roe is the most popular live bait in catching the fish. It is cheap to get these eggs. By the virtue of them being colorful and bright the lax loves them.

Another type of live lures is minnows. They are resourceful in catching many of the fish residing in freshwater bodies. To note is that they will only be beneficial to you if they are alive. Therefore, confirm they are not dead when you are hooking them. Sand shrimp will always deliver good outcomes when used in salmon fishing. They are expensive and hard to rig though. Nevertheless, if you have the time and money go for them.

There are very many artificial types of baits available in the market. Silver spoons are the commonest of these lure types. They have concave oval embedded on the hook. When cast into water the oval flashes and flatters attracting the fish. Spinner bait is also good to use. It has metallic blades which create movements in water by spinning.

Cut plug is solid and similar to a tiny fish. It also has many hooks. Artificial lures are colorful and shiny. Color is very important in choosing lures. The fish is only found in the deepest end of the rivers and lakes and the lures should have colors that are visible in water at those depths. UV, purple, blue and green colors can be picked out in such depths.

Besides the lure, the technique used in fishing must be right. You can end up with no catch even when you have the best lure at hand. Trolling is the recommended lax fishing approach by the experts in the field. It involves keeping the boat on move constantly. The bait should also be moving all the time while in the water.

In trolling, divers or weights are used to get the bait to a specific depth. Salmon fishing should be done near the water body bottom. Because it is always on the move, ensure the lure is in a constant move too to get the attention of salmon. When using live baits you should cast them before the fish so that they can detect the smell. If all these aspects are considered keenly then the fishing tour will not be a headache to you. You will catch them easily and the activity will be fun.
