My Top 8 Bass Fishing Lures of 2024!
Happy New Year! My 2024 fishing was better than I could have ever expected. Tried a ton of different lures and styles but some lures were definitely used more than others. Thought I would power fish more but turns out I prefer to finesse fish. Next year, I will continue hone my finesse fishing skills with some power fishing thrown in as well as learning to fish with a jig. Here's hoping everyone has a great time fishing in 2025! Tight Lines!

  • @dwightstephenson_fishing5150
    @dwightstephenson_fishing5150 7 месяцев назад

    That’s why I angle my board down in my boat and with these big ones I have my net at the end of the board. We all learn the hard way. Also now that it’s so hot outside, dip your board in the water for a few seconds before you put them on it. Sometimes they’re feeling the burn like we do when walking on hot sand.
