Live bait suggestions
Going to Grand isle this weekend. Planning on fishing Elmer's island from boat first thing in the morning, if no luck probably will head towards queen bess. My question is do yall suggest live shrimp or croakers. Just need some opinions

That's a common misconception, I thought the same because that's what I was told! Look at Jerald Horst article on the subject. http://www.louisianasportsman.com/details.php?id=3800 |

I mainly fish artificial but I am bringing 2 young ones with me so I wanted to make it easier. And didn't wanna mix the 2 baits if I can help it. Croakers sound better cause they are so much easier for me to keep alive. Lol thanks for the advice guys

I disagree. Those trout fry are swimming around and can see the croakers eating eggs. They don't forget that and when they are big enough to eat a croaker they do |

A fish has a tiny brain. Their memory is about as long as one of my beer farts. |

We just went and had croakers and live shrimp. The trout didn't even bite at the croackers and devoured the shrimp. Go figure. You never know, though.

It's a learned behavior like when they saw a bigger trout eat shrimp. They learned it was ok to eat shrimp |

No, it's not a learned behavior. It's a basic instinct. Huge difference. Your breathing when you popped out the womb was not a learned behavior was it? |

Exactly. Just like trout know that croakers eat their eggs. It's instinct because somewhere down the line they learned it and it passed down.
It's like ducks. It's their instinct to fly south but they leaned that they don't have to fly as far as Louisiana anymore. They learned to see a DU project sign and know that everything is fine. The ponds will not freeze and their will be food there. A few generations later and it's now instinct |

Last weekend was fishing beaches near Fourchon. Tons of boats but we were putting more fish in boat with plastic than the other boats using live bait.

Trust me I'd rather plastics too but with young ones sometimes the live bait is a Lil easier. Lol

The mega male trout will eat trout eggs to cause the female trout to spawn again. For this reason I use the Matrix egg suspended soft bait. It can't be beat for the big 'uns. |

Do you use a poping cork with that bait or just tie it on right out of the package ? |
