Bait, especially live does indeed making catching easier.

There is a particular area that myself and a few friends fish often with plugs only. Leading up to commercial season we were getting a few fish on top with pencils and metal lipped swimmers.

As soon as commercial season started there were six boats in the exact area, well within casting range using live pogies and/or macs. Every morning they cleaned up, bagging multiple 30 and 40 pound fish right in front of eyes. Point being that those fish were there the whole time but not being easily fooled by our artificials. Now that comm season is over we are back to catching a few good fish per week.
