Use that lure until you have complete confidence in your ability to catch fish on a consistent basis. Try different colors and sizes and experiment with different presentations. Versatility is the quality that separates the average weekend angler from professional tournament fishermen. The pros fish different depths and different types of structures until they locate active fish. Once they find a school of fish, they throw everything but the kitchen sink at them.
Pros are adept at fishing virtually every presentation known to take their favorite species.
Weekend anglers should learn from the pros and hone their skills with a variety of presentations. Fish the Wind. Unless I'm fishing a big, sprawling body of water that becomes dangerous when it's rough, I always check the windy side of the lake first. Wave action does a lot of things to a lake, and all of them seem to trigger feeding activity. If at all possible, work areas that are being hit directly by the wind.
