dulouz Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 The ice is almost gone and i am more than ready to start fishing, but I am not sure which lures to start with. I will be fishing a river from the bank and hope to catch anything I can: walleye, northern, or smallmouth. Quote
Missouribassman95 Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Inline Spinners, will catch just about anything. Quote
dulouz Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Inline Spinners, will catch just about anything. I haven't used them much, any suggestions as to how? Would you cast upstream or downstream? Slow or fast retrieve? Paralell to shore or out in the middle? Quote

Would you cast upstream or downstream? Slow or fast retrieve? Paralell to shore or out in the middle? I like to cast them upstream then give them small jerks to get the blade spinning. So probably a paralell to the shore. Quote
fishingkidPA Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 inlines will catch you small mouth all day long. I like the 3/8 white roostertail for smallies. i also have some mepps and blue fox inlines. Jointed rapalas will catch you alot of walleye Quote
WanderLust Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Right after ice out I like Jerk baits... LC Pointer fished ultra slow. With inline spinners try to match the local forage. If your targets are eating perch use gold, shiners then silver and so on. Firetiger is good for murky water. Quote
crankin28 Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 The most productive baits around this time for me are tubes, grubs, suspending jerk baits, hair jigs. Quote
