Title: august vs. june fishing differences
Post by jaximus on Jun 24th, 2014 at 4:24am
this year due to some scheduling conflicts our trip wont be until early august, whereas my previous 9 trips were all early june.

naturally the fishing lures/equipment i bring will be different. ive done a little sorting already and am favoring heavier jigs for deeper water applications, larger deeper diving crankbaits, and brighter colors as the deeper water blocks more light.

this year it will also just be 2 of us, my older brother and myself. we plan to do some night fishing as well as early early morning outings. the brighter colors will help in this style of fishing also i think. by brighter i mean more firetiger/clown/uv patterns.

my standard canada fishing lure trays consisted of 15 ft taildancers, deep shad body xraps, and 1/8 oz jigs and ringworms.

this year, its bigger brighter deeper stuff... i have a fairly wide array of musky equipment but its hard for me to justify bringing one large bait that takes the same space as 4-5 smaller ones.

what do you guys bring in august?
