With that said, if most of your fish were caught using live bait maybe it's time I re-evaluate my anti-bait position when I am in Florida over the holidays....
Left the lure in the mouth for the one pic. 12" saltwater hogey jerkbait. That lure got the second and third biggest fish. The biggest one was on a golden shiner. Im not a bait guy either but we kind of used the shiner as a finese lure on a drop shot rig, just instead of a plastic, it was a shiner. Still fished one rod and felt the hit and everything. Go to stick marsh, bring golden shiners, and if you want a guide id highly recommend Capt. Morris Campbell!
