I really like to fish with live bait as well as artificials. I'm taking a few buddies to the landcut fishing and I don't know that I wanna mess with keeping bait alive. So I'm asking the green screen would you rather fish with live bait or artificials. We will mainly be looking for trout and reds. Any help would be great.

I fish artificial only. I fish too much to buy bait every time I go. If you're only fishing a few times a year bait is probably the easiest, but once you learn how to fish with artificial there's no reason to buy bait. You can catch just as many/more quality fish with lures as bait. I took a guy surf fishing last year, I was throwing plastics, I limited out on trout. Guy I brought with me had shrimp and croaker and didn't catch a limit, but did manage a pile of gafftops. Lol. I do get shrimp when I take the wife though. For newbies or people who don't fish a lot bait is probably the way to go.

The landcut is full of shrimp right now, and that's what the fish are feeding on. you will catch more fish on bait in the cut this time of year than artificials. shrimp aren't that hard to keep alive. keep the water cool, don't change it out on them too fast, and you'll be ok.
for fishing in the actual land cut, the only way I'd negate taking the bait this time if year is if you guys plan on getting out and wading. fishing lures out of a boat in the landcut just isn't the most productive way to fish it.Last edited by kyle1974; 04-23-2018, 08:32 PM.
