Fishing Guide

Pick the lure for the water in front of you

Instead of a giant lure catalog, Fishooon should help anglers make a decision from a handful of things they can see right now.

1. Start with water clarity

Clear water generally rewards natural profiles and a quieter presentation. Stained water often calls for stronger contrast, vibration or displacement.

2. Match the depth and current

The lure has to spend time where the fish are. Weight, diving depth, retrieve angle and current matter more than owning fifty colors.

3. Decide whether fish are chasing

Cover water with moving baits when fish are active. Slow down and stay in the strike zone when conditions call for it.

4. Then consider species

Build species-specific branches from this page for Great Miami smallmouth, white bass, saugeye, hybrids and other common targets.

Build item: add an interactive selector: clarity → depth/current → target species → recommended lure families.
