Live Fishing Baits - the Minnows
Fishing with live bait is still considered as one of the best way to catch fish, including the trout. It is true that lures will probably out fish live bait in some situations, but live bait is the natural way where real bait is presented to the fish. One of the most popular types of live bait is the minnow. Minnows are available in many types. Below is the list of popular freshwater minnows that are proven effective and successful in catching various kinds of fish. Here is the list:
#1 - Fathead minnows. This minnow species is the most common type bait fish for freshwater fishing. It is liked most since it's the favorite treat for many freshwater fishes and they are quite strong to stay alive while attached to the hook struggling to get the attention of the fish.
Fatheads can also stay alive in the bait bucket for quite a long time with only a little care. If exposed to cooler temperature or cold weather they can even stay alive for days in a bait bucket. Fathead is the excellent live bait for walleye, bass, perch and crappie.
#2 - Rosey red minnow is a variant of the fathead minnow characterized by its red-orange color. Other characteristic of the rosey red minnow is the same as the flathead and is also an excellent treat for the same type of fishes: walleye, bass, perch and crappie.
#3 - Suckers are large live baits that can grow up to 12 inches, hence very good to catch bigger fishes. You can buy suckers at a bait shop and are available in various sizes, usually those 3 – 4 inches. Some shops can provide the larger size, even bigger than 12 inches. The 5 – 8 inches suckers are suitable for the big largemouth bass, while to catch muskie or northern pike you can use bigger size of suckers.
Suckers are known to be very tough and can live long in your bait bucket or while on the hook. But you should be aware of the oxygen supply in your bait bucket if you keep more than half a dozen in your bucket. Due to their big size the oxygen supply will be depleted very soon, hence you need to add oxygen by the mean of an aerator. With sufficient oxygenation the suckers will stay alive for days and even for weeks
#4 - Golden shiners or just called by shiners are the common bait to catch bigger fishes. They are characterized by the green to olive shade back and a silvery white belly. You can also find a dark stripe along its sides.
Shiners can reach a size of one foot long, but the usual size carried and offered by a bait shop is the 5 – 6 inches size. They are suitable to fish bass, pike, northern pike, catfish, walleye and muskie. The majority of Florida fishing guides uses shiners as bait to catch bass. They are able to catch plenty of largemouth bass and can weigh more than 10 lbs
#5 - Emerald shiner is a different type of shiner. They are characterized by a much smaller body compared to golden shiners with a size of 2 to 4 inches long. They will be suitable to catch bass, perch, crappie and other panfish.
#6 - Hornyhead chub or Redtail chubs are also great to catch larger fishes. But they are a bit difficult to find and are not always available in all bait shops. However, if you find them available at your local bait shop, consider to using them as perfect bait for walleye, bass, muskie, northern pike and catfish.
#7 - Creek chubs are considered as the best freshwater bait for big fish game fishing. They are widely available in many bait shops or you can get them by yourself in shallow creeks and streams using a bit corn or a little cut of worm. They are excellent bait for walleye, largemouth bass, big smallmouth bass, northern pike, catfish and muskie.
#8 - Shads are also popular bait for game fishing. As a matter of fact shads are stocked in game fishing lakes to feed the game fishes. The most popular shad as bait fish is the threadfin shad and gizzard shad, and are most liked by largemouth bass and striped bass.
#9 - Herring are another common type of bait fish. You can find various types of herring which can live in both freshwater and saltwater. Most herring are small in size, but some can grow big that reach 1.5 lbs. They are common bait for numerous saltwater species and are suitable for the freshwater striped bass

Am i that good at fishing?
I have been catching o=some fish but i feel like i could be fishing more. I fish in michigan on a lke that connects to lake mi. so it has smallies margies musky pike all those fish and so far ive used a husky jerk and senkoes and caught bass. im fine with bass idc, but i feel like one bass every hour of fishing or even two is terrible. how do i catch more? i fish the lure the right way i looked it up. i mean idk what im doing wrong. i dont think a bass an hour or two or not at all sometimes is gonna cut it for me.
Son, that's why it's called FISHING! If we caught on every cast it would be called, " CATCHING" and we'd all get bored and pick up golf clubs. Can you imagine us who fish playing golf because we got bored of catching all the time? It would be a disaster. A hook would be real! A caddy? Hell no! We'd have push carts rigged with pvc holding up our clubs and a milk crate carrying the rest .At every hole we'd toss out an anchor and check our GPS.... ( I hear they have a new phone with an app for these kinda situations.) We'd wear vests and hip waders throughout the whole game in 90 degree weather while our wives haul the jon boat and 150 merc. engine...you know, in case one of the anglers hit the split shot into the lake. On the 18th. hole we'd all have a fish fry sponsored by Bass Pro, " sponsors of Diawa, Shimano, Penn and Okuma golf clubs." It would be un-real.
It all jokes, but take it easy on your self. If you slow down a bit you will start to see the full picture and start honing your fishing skills. All good things come with time. ~good luck catchin'.
