Leeches should be hooked through the sucker in the tail. Leeches are excellent live freshwater fishing bait for walleye and northern pike and are readily available from bait shops.
Go to the Saltwater Fishing section for information on saltwater fishing bait. Many species of saltwater fish like sea trout, bluefish and sailfish are attracted to this type of freshwater bait. Catfish and carp bite on cut fishing bait. For best results, scale the fish but leave the skin on. You can use any caught fish, including bait fish, to make cut bait. Fish that are attracted to scent are more likely to hit on cut bait. Using fish cut into pieces attracts fish in a different way than whole, live freshwater fishing bait or lures. Many lakes don't allow the use of rough fish minnows as freshwater bait because rough fish can take over a lake and starve-out the game fish.Ĭompare the cost of losing one worm to losing a lure and you'll see that fishing with live bait can be less expensive than fishing with lures and if you find your own freshwater live bait, you can save even more money.įor more information about the best freshwater bait to use for your target fish, check the Freshwater Fish Species section. Always check local fishing regulations to make sure the freshwater fishing bait you choose is legal for the lake you're fishing.
