Common Mistakes Made By Novice Lure Fishermen

Most beginner lure fishing mistakes happen before a fish ever sees the bait. A rod, reel, line, and jighead that do not work together can make casting awkward and rob your lure of its natural action. Reeling too quickly makes the problem worse, while casting at random wastes good water. Start by matching your tackle, slow your retrieve, and look for grass edges, bridge pilings, current breaks, or depth changes. Make those three adjustments on your next trip and let each cast have a reason behind it.
