Fishing, or should I say catching, success is greatly enhanced by understanding your quarry and its favored prey. While prey preferences are often water and season specific, crawfish are possibly the one universal prey species. Nearly every game fish around will eat a crawfish if given the chance. But when it comes to bass, they actively pursue them as Joshua Christensen, Fish Explorer’s California State Editor, points out in his most recent article, “The Overlooked Realistic Crawfish.”
A San Diego Native, Joshua’s bass fishing experience includes chasing one of his favorite fish in California, Colorado, Arizona, and Oklahoma. However, Joshua does admit to have a soft spot in his heart for saltwater, where he has wrangled in every type of saltwater bass along with many other species.
In this latest addition to our outstanding collection of writings, Joshua discusses how one of basses’ favorite foods is often overlooked by anglers when selecting lures. He then covers the advantages of realistic crawfish lures, and how to fish them. So if you fish for bass at any time, give Joshua’s article a read. It’s sure to help you put a few larger bass in the livewell.
