Does the size of the bait have anything to do with the size of the fish you catch?
That is a very interesting question, and I will be happy to help out. There are a few things to consider about the size of the fish you are looking to catch. First and foremost, any number of mandatory rules and regulations may exist that are enforced by your local government, depending on where you are fishing in the world. Some of these regulations not only state what size bait or lure you can use for which fish, such as in the Republic of Ireland, but also what type of bait (as well as other factors). Also, if you are affiliated or wish to respect any fishing or game organizations, they may have voluntary rules and regulations all their own that involve benefits to members who closely follow them. As far as whether or not larger bait attracts larger fish goes, yes, many times fish naturally get eaten by larger fish. And sometimes even by smaller fish in small bites. The things to really consider, however, are the tastes, smells and appearances of different types of bait and lures. Even though you might be capable of eating a 12-ounce chopped steak, would you not go for the 10-ounce sirloin first if they were both offered at the same price? Well, most people go after the tastier treat, and the same applies to fish. Different types of fish have different tastes they consider to be bad, good and better. Local bait shops can be great resources to take into consideration here as far as the lure or bait you should use, because many times you will find veterans of the area happy to hand out secrets to any who ask. Whatever you do, stay away from trout and salmon as bait, which can cause whirling disease. Even though it isn’t a parasite that can be transferred to humans, it can spread in a body of water like wildfire and cause deformations that limit swimming (and feeding) ability. Other than that, if you are unable to find the yield you are looking for based on the recommended methods you find, the best advice I can give is to do one of these three things: 1). Move to a different location. 2). Be patient and wait it out. 3). Get creative. Many of the best techniques used today were invented because someone got creative, and I highly encourage you to keep your mind open to new possibilities, as you may be the next to find a great solution for the rest of us. Hope this helps!
