Going to the lake today with only two lures, from December to Feb. Which two would you take? Water Temp - 35 to 42 degrees. Blue bird skies after a front. WayneB

I think the two lures I would take would be a jerk bait and a Football Jig.

jerk and spoon

just need to take the stick and the jig,thats all you need to catch fish at them temps.

I think I would also take the jerk bait and the jig.

Jerkbait and Jerkbait

Football jig and lucky craft pointer. Deep diving of course.

a spoon and a deep diving crank bait

It would depend on what the lake has for cover. This can be a great time to catch some good ones on a lipless crankbait if you have some grass. I have caught some great fish on this bait while the line guides on my rod were freezing on the edges of the flats near a ditch. If there is a shad kill, the suspending stickbait is hard to beat on 10 lb flouro. I really like the finesse worms too, such as the Yamamoto cut tail on a 3/16 oz. shakey head. Grass = lipless and a jig. No grass = shakey head and a suspending stickbait.

On deep highland lakes, a spoon and a grub for January. The stickbait is an off and on deal depending on fronts and water temps. And the question was what 2 lures.
