Live vs. Artificial Bait
Message:
Reading SeaDog1's post about using golden shiners to catch a 38 inch northern pike on the Housatonic River got me thinking about the merits of live versus artificial baits. I think that the primary advantage of live baits is that they attract fish to them, rather than having to be presented to fish like artificial baits.
I can't cover a lot of territory quickly in my little kayak and have started experimenting with trolling to increase my coverage. However, I'm considering giving live baits like shiners a try. What do you think?

imo, live bait vs artificial is a no brainer, lb is more effective, but kid of boring. I enjoy casting, the challenge of figuring out the pattern, the variety of choices artificials offer and exploring the whole body of water.

I use only artificial baits in fresh water. The 4 times i'm in the salt I use live bait. Some say the gulp stuff works as well as live bait in the fresh or salt
