Pride & Satisfaction ?!!!
Message:
Alright my buddy and I have been talking about this for about a week id like to hear what u guys think !? Don't get me wrong both ways work but I just don't get the same level of Pride and satisfaction From catching a fish using live bait over artificial lures! It's definitly fun once in awhile to go out and just sit and wait with live bait !! Atleast you normally Get a lot of fish in a day !! But u never know what kind of fish you'll get and most the time it's sunnys! And when I do get one I don't feel like it was me who got it with my wit and skill !! More like just the dangling moving living thing that I put on my hook ! So I guess what I'm asking is if u guys think being able to know when to pick up the right lure and put it in the right place at the right time of day and year to produce specific desired species of fish Makes you a better fisherman than someone who just throws something in the water to do all the real "work" for you! Do u think it's more rewarding to catch lots of undesirable fish on live bait or a couple of targeted species using skill and knowledge ? You might get numbers with live bait but inconsistent keepers and species!!! My boy thinks hes a better fisherman than me simply because he catches higher numbers of fish! But to me a sunfish shouldn't count when Im getting bass !!!So let me know what u guys think !!Thanks for your responses !! Not trying to rag on anyones style of fishing but My boy and I have been on this subject all week So bring on the haters!! Again thanks guys

I absolutely agree that targeting fish witn artificials is way more satisfactory!!!!!! That being said I have a bad back so there are a lot of times Ill throw bait to let my back relax after a long week like chunks for bluefish or even on the weekend for ttout but typocally even then Ill break it up with lures. Luckily where I typically troug Fish there arent any sunnies, just trout and anx smallmouth bass.

Well I'm an artificial kinda guy for sure. You're 100% right about the satisfaction thing for sure. But there's nothing wrong at all with a little chilling out once and while with some crawlers and a bobber, and see what you can see. We do it all the time when we're just hanging out on our shoreline in the lawn chairs getting some air and sun.
