Fishing live bait or artificial

ROBZILLA · 08-24-06, 11:39 PM

OK do you fish just to catch fish, or do you like to do it to fool the fish to go after what you threw in the water.

So having said that:

1) do you like to fish live bait?

2) do you like artificial bait to make it harder?

3) I like to use both don't matter i want to catch fish dude.

4) are you super keen and make you own versions of lures and bait to feel self gratified?

You can pick more than one answer above in poll.

Artificial %99 of the time. I have used live bait, and I'm sure I'll use it again, but it takes special circumstances like taking friends fishing, ect.

#2..but,i don't use them to make fishing more difficult.i haven't used live bait for years,except when i take the kids for bluegill or i go ice fishing.

If were just talking about bass fishing then I have to answer #2 here, although I do have lures in my box I have made. Safetypin type spinnerbaits and in line spinners both. Rarely do I ever use bait unless I'm going to use it to tip a jig. I can probably count the number of times I've used live bait for bass in the last 10 years on one hand. My bait fishing is reserved for other species. Besides, who wants to touch those slimmy things anyways????eewwwwwwwww

Yes I do 2 and 4 for bass, but for saltwater, and inshore, walleye, and sometimes catfish I use live bait.

I have tried gills but that's about it....friend of mine had a pond where we would fish gills for bass and catfish...I try it now and then but really do a lot better on artificials which is crazy.
