Re: Tried the livers, but the herring scored

Nice article on your blog.
My personal opinion is that an angler's choice of bait is far less important than being in the right place (where the fish are) at the right time (when the fish are feeding).
A fish in a feeding mode will hit a wide variety of baits if it is placed in front of them, whether it is alive, dead, or a lure. A couple of years ago while perch and crappie fishing from my kayak, I had the experience of having a school of hybrid stripers 'blitzing' a school of herring near my kayak. All I had for bait was a coffee can of worms and some curly-tail jigs, but every time I dropped a bait or lure over the side of my kayak, it was instantly smashed. For a half-hour or so, I was bailing hybrids in water shallow enough to stand up in. At the boat ramp, other anglers didn't believe me when I told them I caught-and-released over a dozen big hybrids that evening until I showed them the pics on my phone.
