Alright, let’s talk about this freeloader fishing bait, you know, the one them fancy folk are all yappin’ about. I ain’t no fancy fisherman, but I know a thing or two about catchin’ fish, been doin’ it since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
Now, this here bait, they say it looks like a little fish, a baitfish they call it. Got them tall, flat sides and a funny lookin’ tail with ribs, makes it wiggle in the water. Sounds fancy, huh? Well, I reckon it ain’t nothin’ more than a newfangled way to trick them fish.
I seen all sorts of baits in my day, worms, maggots, corn, even bread, you name it, I probably used it. And let me tell you, a hungry fish ain’t too picky. But I guess if you want to catch the big ones, the ones that put up a real fight, you gotta have somethin’ special.
This freeloading bait, they say you can use it with all sorts of hooks and gizmos. Spinnerbaits, vibratin’ jigs, scrounger heads, sounds like a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo to me. But I reckon it just means you can use it different ways, dependin’ on what kind of fish you’re after and where you’re fishin’.
They also say it’s good with them fish finders, the sonar thingamajigs. You know, the ones that show you where the fish are hiding. I ain’t never used one of them fancy gadgets, I just look for the spots where the fish like to hang out, the weeds, the logs, the rocks.
- Best Baits I Know: Sweet corn, that’s always a good one. Fish love that stuff, especially them carp. And pellets, them little hard things, they work good too. Luncheon meat, bread, worms, maggots, all them work just fine. Don’t need nothin’ fancy, just somethin’ that smells good and tastes good to a fish.
- How to Use a Freeloader: Well, I ain’t used it myself, but from what I hear, you just hook it on there and throw it in the water. You can wiggle it around a bit, make it look alive, but mostly you just gotta be patient and wait for a fish to bite.
- Where to Find Fish: Fish like cover, places where they can hide and feel safe. Look for weeds, logs, rocks, anything that breaks up the current and provides a hidin’ spot. And don’t forget to try different depths, sometimes the fish are down deep, sometimes they’re up near the surface.
Now, I reckon this freeloader bait might be good for catchin’ them bass and them other fancy fish, but I ain’t too sure about it. Seems to me like they’re just tryin’ to sell you somethin’ you don’t really need. But hey, if you got the money and you want to try it, go ahead. Just don’t forget the basics, the worms, the corn, the patience. Them’s the things that really catch fish.
And another thing, don’t go thinkin’ that just ’cause you got a fancy bait, you gonna catch a fish every time. Fishin’ ain’t like that. Sometimes they bite, sometimes they don’t. That’s just the way it is. You gotta be patient, persistent, and a little bit lucky. And don’t forget to enjoy the peace and quiet, the fresh air, the sunshine. That’s the best part of fishin’ anyhow.
So, there you have it, my two cents on this here freeloader fishing bait. Take it or leave it. I’m just an old woman who knows a thing or two about catchin’ fish. And if you ask me, the best bait is the one that works, no matter how fancy or how simple it is.
Remember to always check your local fishin’ rules and regulations, and don’t take more than you need. Leave some for the next fella, and always be respectful of the water and the wildlife. And most important, have fun! ‘Cause if you ain’t havin’ fun, what’s the point?
And one last thing, don’t go tellin’ nobody I told you all this, they’ll think I’m crazy. Just between you and me, alright? Good. Now go catch some fish!
