Lure fishing is a popular angling technique that involves using artificial baits, known as lures, to attract fish. These lures come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, designed to mimic the movement and appearance of prey. Anglers cast the lure into the water and retrieve it in a way that entices fish to strike. This method is effective for targeting different species, such as bass, trout, and pike. Lure fishing allows for a more active approach, as anglers can experiment with different retrieval speeds and techniques to find what works best. It is often practiced in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
