Live Bait is the Key

Tuesday November 27, 2007
If you want to catch fish, really catch fish, live bait is the only way to go. You may catch some fish on dead cut bait, but in general they will be smaller and fewer in number. We’ve proven this to ourselves more times than I can remember. On a recent trip my son and his fishing partner proved this theory once again and brought fish to the boat while other anglers just watched.
