Gotcha Lure Plug

Lures

The Gotcha Lure has long been a favorite of Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish fisherman.  The lure has proven itself from the planks, the sand and from boats.  The very simple design makes it a rugged and reliable choice.  The head is formed lead and the body is constructed of hard plastic tube.  Below this durable frame hang two super sharp treble hooks.

The Gotcha Lure is about the size of a typical finger mullet and comes in dozens of colors and patterns.  When you add in the Gotcha plugs erratic darting and diving motion, you have a deadly, fish catching combination.  I know this all sounds too good to be true.   The Gotcha Lure is  durable, inexpensive, effective, and did i mention easy to fish.

To fish the Gotcha lure you simple throw it as far as you can and reel it in.  I am being a little sacarstic.  You just cast out the lure and fish it like a jerk bait on the retrieve.  How?   While reeling in the lure you snap your rod tip quickly to "jerk" the bait forward.  This action immitates an escaping or injured baitfish.  Fish the Gotcha plug on a standard 6 foot spinning fishing rod combo and you are sure to have a successful day.

    Hey Rey
    You can catch fish at anytime with a Gotcha plug but most of the action on the pier and in the surf will be in the morning and in the evening. The time around sunrise and sunset brings predators like Spanish and Blues out looking for a meal.
