Live Bait Fishing - Tips and Tricks

There are all kinds of ways that you can go fishing. Similarly, there are all kinds of baits that you can use. Some people prefer to use soft plastic baits. These baits are sometimes scented and come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. You can find them that are shaped like crayfish, worms, and even minnows. However, why use fake bait when you have the real thing at your disposal? You can fish using real bait. This is called fishing with live bait and is oftentimes much more effective than fishing with artificial bait.

A common, catch-all, bait is the minnow. There are many types of minnows you can choose to fish with. There are creek chubs, emerald shiners, golden shiners, fat heads, and pin heads. Really, the type you choose to fish with is the type that you will have already in your water ways. This is best, anyway, because this way, you know that you will be using bait that the fish have already been feeding on for generations. Many fish eat minnows. You can catch everything from a bluegill all the way up to a muski on a minnow.

Lastly, you cannot forget about the common worm. To be more specific, you will want to fish with nightcralwers. They are called this because they are the type of worm that comes out at night and therefore are often caught at this time. You will want to make sure you have fresh worms when you are out fishing because spoiled ones smell so bad that you would be half -tempted to throw them in water rather than keep them near you. Once you learn the different types of live bait that you have at your disposal, you will start to catch more fish.
