i have a lot of lures and usually just cast them out and reel them in and have very little success. can anyone give me advice on using lures to catch bass and other fish?

There are 100s of different lures..This would take days..because each one is fished differently..List one lure at a time and we can discuss it ..or you can google each lure and research it yourself..

it depends what lures you have let me know and i could explain some of them

what i mean is different retrieving techniques you can use besides just reeling in

Twitching, jerking, jigging, pause and reel, and the other thousands of other ways.

Really there are 100s of ways to retrieve bass lures too.

can anyone give the there favorite way to catch them and how to do it?

Ask My 7 Year old grandson and he will show you, he sticks lure and rod in the water and just goes back and forth fast, after he caught 2 peacock bass 1- 3 LBS and 1- 6 LBS and lost a monster large mouth, we all started playing with the water too,lOL
