Go angling twice, initially with lure (7)
I believe the answer is:
attempt
'go' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'angling twice initially with lure' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'lure' becomes 'tempt' (synonyms).
The first letters of 'angling twice' is 'at'.
'at'+'tempt'='ATTEMPT'
(Other definitions for attempt that I've seen before include "Undertake" , "Try, endeavour" , "Embark on, try" , "Try, hazard" , "Endeavor, try" .)
