Live Bait or Lures

[Kim]

which do you prefer?

I prefer to use them both, I mean live bait is good for relaxing sometimes, And lures is if ya want some action. But then again i guess it all depends on what your fishing for.

I like live bait for panfish and channels I don't really target any other kind

lures! even in the dead of winter most my big pike,crappie,perch and eyes come off lures.since 2 poles are allowed in the ice season,ill dead stick an over sized (12-16inch) frozen sucker on one pole and jig a big sp.oon or swim bait on the other...i know alot of people use live bait,year round but im very impatient when it comes to fishing and always have to be casting and searching..so for me,lures are the best option.
