[QUOTE="senkosam, post: 502720, member: 24899"] Wish that weren't true most of the time! :LOL: But knowing the water is key to using various lures, and the only way I can do that is with sonar and a boat. The more times a water is fished and searched, the more I know the structure of the bottom and seasonal fish locations as well as which lure types will do better. There is a time for surface and near-surface lures - finding fish in 15' isn't one of them. There are multi-depth lures to be sure that allow very slow to faster retrieves, but, assuming fish are NOT feeding is a habit I started believing in after years of using faster search-lures. Environmental and seasonal changes can tip activity-prone fish to a negative state the same as making fish moree prone to aggrssion and without warning at that! But the nice thing about lure choice(s) is knowing what to use for the most strikes when the time comes. Though lure types differ, many overlap in their catchability given the same combination of depth and cover. [B]Fish activity level is[/B] [B]key[/B] regardless. [/QUOTE]
