I prefer fly fishing and plugging over bait fishing. I know that bait is the easiest way to catch very large bass, or sometimes numbers of small bass, but it really isn't my preference.
I like to move around, as opposed to sitting and dunking a chunk. I like to work a fly or plug through the water just right, and I can enjoy doing that all day in a fishless swimming pool.
I hate smelling like bunker when I'm trying to get to sleep at 5:00 in the morning. I don't like having to get to a shop and buy eels before fishing. I love catching fish on a new pattern that I constructed after analyzing a certain situation that I encounter on the water. I count success in catching fish by my own skill in placement of my fly or plug and working it effectively, rather than putting a chunk of meat where a big fish is likely to wander through.
