Natural and Prepared
It's no secret that bait fishing gets results. No lure or man-made device can replace the natural selection of foods that all fish feed on daily. The largest largemouth bass are regularly taken on golden shiners. Forty-pound plus flatheads hit with the most gusto on live bluegills. Some fish species will hit natural bait only. Sturgeon and carpsuckers fit this category.
Natural bait is most commonly thought of as any fish food normally found in the fish's habitat. This includes minnows of all varieties, crayfish, clams, shrimp, a legion of aquatic insects, red worms, and night crawlers. Because of their origin, many prepared baits and doughballs are included in the natural bait category.
Common sense shows why natural baits are the most effective for catching the largest fish and the most fish. If a fish has spent its entire life eating smaller fish, then presenting a minnow to that fish is the most logical way to make that lunker snatch your hook. Most artificial lures can flash or gyrate, but don't even come close to giving the illusion of a normal, natural bait. That is why they are so often ignored by the target fish. But a natural bait? They always smell, feel and act normal-and that means like the next meal of the fish nearest to them.
Fishermen wanting the best results under the greatest range of conditions should make a study of bait and how to best use it. Just plopping a bait out might get decent results, but there are tricks and techniques which will greatly improve the bait's effectiveness.
