super exciting way to catch fish and you cannot really fish it wrong. For first time anglers, put a Zoom Super Fluke in the Pearl White color on a 3/0 Superline EWG.
With a twitch, twitch pause cadence you can get the lure to dance. The white color is super visual and will teach you how the bait responds to each twitch. Once you have mastered the cadence and technique, try fishing various depths and color variations.
SURFACE BAITS
And, lastly, this line-up would not be complete without the fifth and final option, the topwater lure. Nothing beats the excitement of a fish showing themselves as it barrels
towards the surface and explodes on your lure. The most user-friendly lure that I have found is a Whopper Plopper in the 90 sizes. It is small, easy to cast and can be fished fast, slow, and popping. Some big fish roll up every year to pull this little meal from the surface.
These are all great methods and techniques for beginners and can be achieved with a couple of spinning rods. However, paying close attention to the subtle details is what separates anglers. Understanding the nuances of each technique and making slight adjustments can make what seems to be simple into a science. The more you experiment, observe, adjust, and adapt the better you will become. •
