surface lures ?

what is the best time to use this type of lure i was out today using a skitterpop for the first time and after working out how to make it pop really liked it still blanked though

i,m not in to lure fishing ryan, but i know a man who is, the chucker of wood will give you a responce to your question.....

Nice warm day like today but without the sun! They work well over lilly pads and weeds if you rig then with a weed guard!

They were about the only thing we didn't try today down at Stanley ferry!

Towards the back end of this month they should start taking them off the surface

there you go ryan, i knew the man who can would know.... :Fishing:

ive never had a fish take a surface lure had em taking them subsurface but the minute i put a surface lure out

well i wont mention the amount of gulls ive caught

they look really good but i bet the pike have to be really on feed to take them i knew woody would know

I have got to say that onec you have one you will become hooked, the secret to surface lure fishing is to cast out the lure and let all the rings from the splash settle before you retreive the lure, then make it a stop and start retreive and once you feel the weight of the fish and only when you feel the weight of the fish should you strike.
Pike are really crap at hitting lures on the surface so dont worry if you dont get a hook up from a take, they probably missed the lure altogether I find the best times for surface fishing is after the sun goes down on a sunny day or first thing in the morning as the some comes up

Work em S L O W.............Best lure has to be the remote for a Smartcast How the hell I still have me first one is a good advertisement for flourocarbon!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have heard loads of people say that Slippy, even lads saying they where thinking of rigging them up witha trebble

Tis cos you bring it in slow looking for the best bits.

im gonna go for a hour very early next weekend i might try ardsley in the shallows now the waters well down or would a canal be better for this ? also letting the rings settle is a good trick cheers

Find a spot with a bit of structure and work round it, weed to the surface is the go

I know just the spot Ryan
