So you could question if this was really skill, or just experience...but if you're learning from your experiences then what's the difference?

I never said bait fishing was a bad thing, Because I am a 50/50 fisherman, I fish with live herring/alewife in the spring, cut bait and sea worms the rest of the year. I also use my share of plugs and plastics. you have to be a well rounded fisherman and know when and where to use what. I have no problem with bait fishing or people who use bait 100% of the time. I just think it is all luck when a new comer or kid throws a chunk of bait out in the middle of the day and catches a 50 pounder.
