Hello all, I have been Lurking around for a wile and have read some very educational and some very amusing threads. I have put more then my allotted time in on the water, or so my wife says, and Fish everything from Plugs, T&W, Eels, and Yes, Dead Bait. In any type of fishing there is a certain amount of luck involved, right place right time scenario, but to say Bait fishing consists of more luck then other types, and I would have to disagree. The guy with the sand spike in the middle of Scarborough Beach @ noon on a Saturday who lands a “trophy” you can say is lucky. The guy/girl who knows that only around the new moon in May, there is sufficient water to support a trophy fish in a spot no bigger then a 1 car garage, No Blues around to scatter the bait, The Squid spawn is coming to a end so that 20lbr is closer to 30lbs because she has been munching on dead squid in the bays and know she is out front looking for one more squid before she disappears to her deep water haunts for the summer I think has a little more then luck on his/her side.
All in all a SKILL is to be able to fish the best method @ the right place @ the right time, be it Plugs or Bait.
Just my opinion… Take it for what its worth…
