When we go fishing on our boat, we have mainly used hooks & nightcrawlers and relaxed on the boat and waited for a bite (usually from trout).
However, in our tackle box we have a couple of Kastmaster lures (silver & gold), a couple of spinner lures, a couple of
deepwater crankbaits and some soft plastic worms. I would love to use these lures, but I don't necessarily know how to. Once you cast one of these lures into the water, how do you count to figure out just how deep the lure is going before you start retrieving the lure in. When using a Kastmaster or spinner, how slow or fast does a person reel the lure in? When using a plastic worm, do you let it set on the bottom or off the bottom?
One thing I do know for sure, it does take more skill catching a fish using a lure rather than just sitting in a boat and waiting for a fish to bite/take a worm from a hook in the water. How easy is it catching trout using a lure? When do you use minnows or leeches for bait? How about Powerbait? We have used Powerbait when fishing from shore, but only a couple of times in the boat (with no success).
Any help on using lures would be greatly helpful.
