A fishing harness apparatus with enhanced strength and securement of a lure to minimize a likelihood the lure separates from the apparatus in water is provided. The fishing harness apparatus includes a cap with a nose detachably coupled to a fishing line and a strip with a first pointed end and a second end. The first pointed end is disposed within a main body opening of the cap and detachably coupled to the nose of the cap. The first pointed end of the strip is able to pierce through the lure to enable the lure to be secured to the cap. An outer surface of the cap nose deflects water away from the lure, thereby enhancing the securement of the lure to the cap.
