Hey everybody, welcome to the All Things Fishing Podcast.

A podcast for each week, I talk about just that.

This is All Things Fishing.

Hey everybody, I'm excited to be recording the sixth episode of the All Things Fishing podcast this week.

This week there's an incredibly large amount of construction and airplanes and jackhammering and sirens going on in the background.

I live in D.C., so there's a lot of, uh, there's a lot of all that every day.

Um, yeah.

So this week, I was going to record an episode about the, about

live bait versus lures versus food. So there's obviously some good and bad things about all three

of those. I'm going to start off with lures today. So lures are, they're really good. One of the things that makes them really good is that

you don't have to switch them every five seconds. You don't have to like put, especially if you're fishing

with crickets, you don't have to like go out and catch another cricket every five seconds because

you lose it. It never comes off unless you're using like a safety pin swivel and the

fish pulls safety pin. It's not going to come off. Yeah. That's one of the good things about

lures. One of the bad things is that it doesn't have as much of a natural presentation in the water

as something like a minnow would. A minnow is going to have like it's going to be swimming a bit if it's still alive on your hook. It's going to be swimming. So, yeah, that's one of the not so good things about lures. You can engineer them, though, people who can engineer them, that, like, so that they make, like, a, first of of all more natural presentation in the water and also

they um also like make a bigger splash as you like jerk it a bit so um yeah they they can't there

are ways to make it more natural but it's never really going to be as natural as a real minnow so

that's some of the good things and bad things about lures. There are also,

of course, good things and bad things of live baits. So live bait, there's like worms, minnows, crickets.

Those are probably the most common ones. Crickets being my favorite. Crickets will come off so much, so much easier. I've talked about this like three or four times. I've said this like three or four times in all the episodes I've recorded. Crickets will come off really easier, a lot easier. So yeah, that's one of the bad things about things like live bait.

They're going to come off, whereas a lure will never come off unless you, uh, like,
