Synopsis:

Every kid who ever started fishing probably tried to catch a panfish with a worm. That setup has been the tried-and-true method for generations. There are other kinds of live bait that work just as well; maybe even better in some conditions and for certain fish. In addition to the chapter on Worms & Leeches, this book covers Baitfish, Insects, Salamanders & Frogs, Crustaceans and Other Natural Baits (such as salmon eggs and clams). Complete information on how to catch and keep these baits is followed by sections on how to actually use each live bait type. New on the freshwater-fishing scene in recent years is the use of dough baits and scents. Which one to choose, plus how and when to use each is fully explained. Equipment is discussed in detail: hooks, bobbers, sinkers, rods, and reels. The authors suggest many tips for using different kinds of equipment in various fishing locations and situations. The final chapter matches common freshwater fish species with the best kind of live bait to use, depending on where the fish are and what time of year it is.

About the Author: Gunnar Miesen has been a fishing fanatic since he was a young boy and expanded on his knowledge as a counselor with In-Fisherman's Camp Fish. Known for his ability to "root out" what the hot baits are for a particular area, Gunnar fishes for nearly all species of fish, but ranks Largemouth Bass and Steelhead as his favorites. He lives in Minnesota.

Steve Hauge is a free-lance editor and writer based in Minnesota and has over 20 years in the fishing industry. He also owns and operates his own bass fishing tackle company. Steve studied fisheries biology at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and uses this knowledge in both his writing and his fishing. When he is not home with his family, Steve can be found fishing area bass tournaments.
