New to fishing? No Problem! For inexperienced anglers, using live bait is a very good way for catching quality gamefish. This technique is successful for inexperienced anglers because you do not need to make accurate casts. Using live bait, the fish will swim to you. I love this style of fishing because of the mystery factor. Every time you put a live bait out, whether it is a live shrimp or a chunk of bait fish, there is never any telling what could be on the other end of the line. You could catch anything from a mangrove snapper to a 100+ pound tarpon or shark!
