Every person who fishes has their favorite type of bait. It probably comes from successfully using the bait on several occasions. Then the result? It’s a great bait.
Crawfish was my bait of choice when I was in Missouri. You just couldn’t beat them for trout or a small mouth bass. But I haven’t had much luck finding crawfish in other places. But I will say this, if you can find these little crawdads as they are called in Louisiana, buy and use them. Crawfish are a great way of attracting fish.
Live minnows are among the most popular and also effective baits for fish in the world. Problem is unless you’re fishing from a boat; its a pain lugging the bait bucket around.
Live worms have gotten a bum rap from TV sitcoms. Just seems people don’t know how to properly put a worm on the hook. Most people stab the worms and wonder why they don’t work. When you get the worm on the hook correctly it stretches out in a most natural way. That way the fish won’t get as suspicious.
Now some people don’t want a thing to do with live baits. Squeamish I guess or lazy. No matter. Nowadays synthetic baits are fast rivaling the living baits. Some people swear by them. Synthetics come in every shape, form and bait imaginable. You can pick up synthetic crawdads, minnows and everything and anything else you can think of. For those who want to pick up and go fishing quickly, synthetic bait offers always ready to go ease.
While there’s all sorts of bait types, it really doesn’t make a big deal. You need to get out and fish, not spend time just talking about fishing. Without practice fishing and I mean getting out there and fishing, you’re not going to catch anything. So get out there and get fishing. And don’t forget to let me know what you caught.
