Lures for all

Can you use lures to fish for any sea fish?

 

[Thrasher]

I don't think any/all species no.
Had you anything specifically in mind?

 

[Goatfish]

Do you mean any or all?

Will the answer still not be no?

No!

 

[Thrasher]

No!

How no G?

 

[Thrasher]

Ha!
Youve got me there Thrasher, a little too subtle for my pea brain I’m afraid.

Lol,local to these parts "how" is used instead of "why". The question is, why not no?

 

[Goatfish]

How no G?

I couldn’t decide whether the question was
1. Are there any sea fish one can target with lures?
or
2. Can you target every sea fish with lures?

but….having re read the thread title I’m guessing it’s No 2.

Having a quick think, I would say that most of the common shore caught fish could be caught on a lure of sorts even if that isn’t the recognised method of fishing for a particular species.
I’m now trying to think of a common shore caught species that absolutely couldn’t / wouldn’t be caught on a lure ……it’s making my brain hurt!

Sorry Thrasher, I deleted that post as you were typing I think, as I was getting myself all tied up!

A list of no to lure? Not aware of these getting caught on lures.

• Dogfish
• bullhuss
• smoothhound
• spurdog
• rays (all sp.)
• soles
• conger

Maybe a starter list?

Replying to all so far. Yes my view is that in this instance I meant any to also act as all.
I’m interested because I imagine that you would alter the size, type and colour according to which fish you were targeting.

Yep, that’s a good start! Your brain is obviously livelier than mine at the moment!

Nor have I……..that’s probably my problem!

In general terms yes that would be correct, but if you were to fish a silver minnow metal lure you might catch bass, Pollock, cod, coalfish, mackerel, garfish with it depending on location and time of year.
