Live baits vs lures

[beanbean]

Live bait vs lures what do you guys prefer and what's your favorite lure?

[beanbean]

I personally got in to the top water game last year and a top frog is my favorite or a popper

It's been soooooo long since i went fishing! But, I pretty much was taught only about the worm and hook. My Dad used to use all that stuff. 

I've still got alot to learn. By top frog, do you mean a type of lure? 

Do i got points for knowing how to put my own worm on?

 Depends on the water and my target.

For bass I love top water lures like a tiny torpedo. There is something extra special about seeing a bass smash a bait on the surface. But plastic baits or live shiners/minnows are a good option.

For bream and other panfish I like worms, crickets, or small plastic grubs or beetle spins. 

Lately I've been after catfish, alligator gar, and anything brackish/saltwater so I've been using what we call pogies ( I learned tonight the technical name is Atlantic Menhaden ) or cut bait or shrimp. 

And chicken legs for the crab nets.

Truly nothing like bass hitting a top water 

[beanbean]

Hopefully going on Sunday even tho it may be wet going to target kittys and crappies 

[beanbean]

Got my tackle box organized rods rigged , ready to go fishing tomorrow 

[shadowrider]

Good luck and I hope you catch at least enough to cook some up for dinner. 🎣

Lol of course I am that weirdo that doesn't eat fish but I am sure my buddy will take some home if we catch them

I caught a bass on top water yesterday on a frog lure
