How many of you use live bait?

I just bought some canadian nightcrawlers, and im going out tommorow, i have given up using jigs and cranks for acouple days, so i figured it would be a good way to relax every once and a while. Any one else ever do the same thing

Not me. And that shouldn't be interpreted as a criticism of anglers who use bait, because that's fine with me. It's just that I want to fish with lures or not fish at all, unless maybe using corn for carp or something along those lines.

Nope, not me either. Not a thing wrong with it, I just prefer lures. Good luck and I hope you catch a bunch!

[Infisherman1]

Nope, not here. Or at least not for bass ever.

[Rob Mak]

i do mostly for cat fish and crappie.

Have been tempted. The stick marsh can be a hard fish now and then. When the going gets tough a lot of people go to the shiners. I have seen people catch 50-100 bass with them. Sucks when I only have got 2-3 using artificials. 8)

I'm too lazy to live bait fish. Nothing wrong with it, I'm just lazy.

[Bassin_Dude]

nope, i used to. nothin wrong with it. i use live bait for catfish and crappie. some times for sea trout. not always.

[LEVI]

Only for Bluegill and Catfish. Mealworm tipped jigs for Bluegill(only occasionally) and chicken livers and minnows for cats.

Heck, I caught three catfish two days ago using a bit of old shrimp. I think they'll bite about anything that smells.

Just artifical baits. I think it makes you a better fisherman, to be able to fool a live creature with a piece of lead and plastic into biting.

well iwent out fishing, didnt catch anything, i decided live bait is not for me either, to boring. Then after fishing i went out to look for some new lures in my local tackle shop, when i saw her, A 6ft med hevy fenwick hmx, for 60 $! well, i bought a couple lures, and i ll be going back for that rod within a month ot two

power did it have the "soft feel grip" it is a funny looking black grip area -these are the 2006 models - i seen a techna av with this on. -SWEET!!!- i am currantly counting my pennies and am still a tad short -129.99 is not THAT easy to come by.
