Step 2: Locate Your Bait
- Bait stores carry a wide variety of bait, but if you decide to be economical when securing bait, or just want to find your own, here are a few ideas to help:
- If your fishing area contains shrimp, drag a fishing net along the bottom of a sandy shallow area or in seaweed. You can keep the shrimp alive by holding them in a container of their natural water or in a cooler of ice, on top of wet newspaper.
- Locate worms and insects by digging in soil. Insects and worms also hide underneath rocks where the soil remains moist.
- Crayfish are tiny and resemble a lobster. Look for them under rocks along the shore of freshwater streams.

Step 3: Prepare Your Hook
- If you desire to fish with live bait, the key is to learn how to hook the bait without causing it to die. Some ideas on how to hook live bait successfuly include:
- Tie a small insect to the hook by gently wrapping its body with thin wire or place the hook through its rear portion.
- Hook a minnow by its tail to promote more movement.
- Thread the hook just below the back portion of a crayfish (don't go deep or you will puncture an organ), or at the base of the tail.
- Shrimp will move and jump, if the hook is placed at the lower joint of the tail, so that location is optimal. Shrimp also do well when the hook is placed directly under the shell, right behind the head.
- Many fish are caught by using bait that is no longer living. Cut fish or eels into strips and place the hook at the upper portion, to allow for a resemblance of a swimming fish. When using worms, you can thread the hook through the length of the worm or cut it into pieces and place one or more of them on the hook.
