Bait??

[meaux fishing]

I dont fish with bait mainly cause its too much hassle and you catch too much trash. I also like to trick the trout with artificial baits. I buy live bait a few times a year when I have family in from out of state that request it, and usually I will catch as much or more than them using artificial. It just not fun for me to throw a croaker out there and let it sit, but to each his own.

This brings up another point.... Does it mean less to catch a personal best with a guide than by yourself? I say no because the fish still has to bite, but I know a few people that say it wouldnt mean as much to em.
