What are the major differences between "lunger" and "cruiser" fish?

The terms "lunger" and "cruiser" are often used in fishing to describe the behavior of fish, particularly in the context of angling and the pursuit of fish species such as bass or muskellunge. These terms refer to two primary behaviors exhibited by fish:

1.Lunger Fish:

• Lungers are fish that tend to hold or linger in a specific area or structure, often remaining stationary or staying in a confined space for extended periods.
• They might position themselves near a particular target, such as submerged structures, weed beds, rocky areas, or drop-offs, waiting for prey to come within striking distance.
• When targeting lungers, anglers may use techniques involving bait or lures that are designed to entice these relatively stationary fish into striking.

2.Cruiser Fish:

• Cruisers, on the other hand, are fish that actively move or swim around in search of food or suitable habitat.
• They tend to roam various areas of a body of water, exploring different depths, structures, or sections, and actively hunting for prey.
• Anglers targeting cruiser fish might need to cover more water, using techniques that involve casting or trolling to entice these more actively swimming fish.

These terms are commonly used by anglers to categorize fish behavior and adapt their fishing strategies accordingly. Understanding the behavior of fish as either lungers or cruisers can help anglers choose the appropriate fishing techniques, baits, or lures to effectively target and catch the fish they are pursuing.
