I thought maybe we could get a post going to refer back to and to add to over time to inform people of when, where and how to use what lure. For example:
Winter = Dead Sticking/ Slow rolling soft plastics such as _______ in depths of _____ during the months of _________.
Spring = ______ lures with _____ technique in ____ depths with _____ technique.

I assume the lure makers and the guides would have lots of info with the addition of all us hard core guys and what everyone likes. I assume opinions vary.

If this is a bad idea just respond with a delete thread request and I'll get this taken off.

My hope is to learn during the different times of the year, what lures to use, in what depths and with what technique. Thought it would be helpful for all.

My 2 cents. Did. This for Lewisville anglers.

This is a pull down tab from top of site:

Lure Chart

Should cover it!

I'll make this easy...

Winter - Moe's tackle
Spring - Moe's tackle
Summer - Moe's tackle
Fall - Moe's tackle

If that don't work then you need more diet milk

Well I've seen a slab work dang near year round now. Burn it, lift it, chunk it, wind it, hold it! Seems that might be the go to year round lure.

Now if ya want big uns, change to flukes during the winter and hang the $"@ on!!!

Don't worry Bombay, the "lure guy" pile on will start soon

SuperDuck - that is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thanks! I knew I should have just PM'd you. I started to but thought others may deem the info useful as well.
Thanks SuperDuck! You are the man!

This is not to be a WHOSE lure to use but WHAT lure and when. People can decide where to buy, I just wanted this to be what to buy. The list Duck posted is great. I'm sure others have a preference too. How is yours different, If it is?

Might as well jump in on this...I got "hooked" on Bomber Rattle RRRA Crankbaits 25 years ago. then they quit making them. Oh I know..they are just like...___________ _______________ ___________ or ____________.

But they ain't. There is something about them that works...year round. I use them on about every species...Largemouth killer...smallies...white bass...wipers...

They work....good luck finding them. I've got a stockpile of about 60 of them...if anyone has any...I'll take 'em!

No worries here VIP! That's why we have the TFF. I'm a "lure guy" and pile on a bunch

Take a spin thru my blog! U mite find some more stuff! My Pony has multiple tricks

I personaly use a ton of moestackleshop baits...and looking forward to using the Godfather slab this spring and summer when the slab fishing starts to pay off better...right now if you want big fish and this is big fish time go with soft plastics...I don't type or spell well enough to go into detail about all the baits and patterns...but don't mind sharing what my little pea brain has retained over the years so you will have to call me...are book a trip and we can talk about it all day long!!

Talking about slabs...does anyone remember the spinner slab??
It was made by a cranky old man named Mack Ronk he lives at White Deer Landing...he was cranky but a very fine fellow...he would do anything to help you...I can tell you this there was a ton of fish caught on his slabs and the paint looked as good after two hundred fish as it did the first one!!

Did it look like this Joe??? Got this Bling from the best looking gal on Twak

No Mike thats not it...think I still have a few out in the shop will try to find them later today...right now I have to make a run to big D!!

also one year I got to catching sandbass and stripers on buzzbaits...but we would miss alot of fish because of the small mouths of the sandbass so he made us some buzzbaits with trible hooks...yep those were some fun times!!

Be careful VIP you might get black balled on the forum for not being a moe's tackle zealot. Or worse yet if you actually claim to have caught a fish on something that didn't come from moe's you will probably get chased of the area lakes for speaking �blasphemy.�

Now to answer your question.�

September and October - DD-22's shad colors, lower lake humps about 14' + or -, let them bump the top of the humps. You will get hit as they leave the bottom as you pass the hump.�

April and May - same pattern but mid lake and use chartreuse colors.�

In both cases use bright red's before sunup and after sundown.�

June, July, and August - number 14 pet spoons, chrome on bright days, gold on dark days. Drop them to the thermocline (+ - 30') and hit around and between deep water humps that come up shallow. ��
