- 1). Cast the Swimmer Lure to a likely location. Jetties can be particularly effective places to fish with this lure because the bait fish congregate among the rocks of the jetty.
- 2). Retrieve the Swimmer Lure by slowly reeling the line back onto the reel. This slow retrieve will make the lure skim across the surface and create a small wake behind it. This will permit you to fish the lure at the water's surface to determine if fish are feeding in that level of water.
- 3). Cast the Swimmer Lure out again and retrieve the lure at a moderate rate of speed. This retrieve should cause the lip of the lure to dig into the water and cause the lure to wobble and dive. When the rate of retrieve is correct, the tip of your fishing pole will pulsate in time with the wobbling of the lure. This retrieve will enable you to fish the middle depths of the waters at issue.
- 4). Cast out a Swimmer Lure that has a longer lip in order to pursue striped bass in somewhat deeper waters. The longer lip will cause the lure to dive deeper than a lure with a smaller lip.
- 5). Use the foregoing retrieves to locate the level at which the fish are feeding. Once you have success with a particular retrieve, continue using the same retrieve to pinpoint the level at which the striped bass are feeding on that day and at that time.
