Expert fisherman Larry Dahlberg says that's a mistake. Dahlberg writes, "Every single human being I have ever met who has become skilled with all kinds of tackle, and is therefore qualified to judge, agrees.

To many, it might be considered the polar opposite of fly fishing. But, truth is, those anglers who are yearning for a fish they can cast to might save lots of time and catch more fish by first locating a bunch by trolling, then resorting to their more preferred methods. sweetmaster44 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:24:32 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:837 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/836/live-bait#Comments 0 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=50&ModuleID=387&ArticleID=836 http://www.fishingclub.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=836&PortalID=0&TabID=50 http://www.fishingclub.com/magazine/articles/articletype/articleview/articleid/836/live-bait If it is presented properly, live bait is ALWAYS the most effective way to make a fish BITE.
