live bait works best for most fish, but some u.s. states restrict you to lures

Im not a live baiter, but prefer lure. The bucktail jig or any of its relatives{plastics} work exceptionally well when used properly. You can catch all types of fish ,from carp to tarpon on jigs.All parts of the water column can be available to a jig ,not just one part.You can vary the retrieves to be what the fish want without the lure flipping. And if you have to use bait you can tip the jig with a minnow,worm,shrimp or whatever the area your fishing has as an ample forage fish

Depending where your fishing in the Deep South your could use a purple worm and as you move across the USA different waters different temperature all take a factor in the way fish bite.
Than there's different kinds of fish , bream , crappie, bass, and on and on.
Than you have salt water the bait changes because the fish do also now in the south around ( Oct ) flounder, white trout, speckle trout spawn and go from salt water into Backus water half and half with fresh water to lay there eggs.
This time of year you can set in front of the canals with bull minnows and catch 100's but watch the game warden nights are better in a boat with dead shrimp fishing upon people peers where the lights are and fish, till your arms hurt.
But there's nothing better than having a cold one,, eating fried fish , hushpuppys, cole shaw , potato salad , and fresh bread.
Okay i got carried away but i love fishing and cook outs.

Doesn't it depend on what kind of fish you want to catch?
Why not join a group who know what the local rivers offer?
Try this site, it has good tips, like:
"The less you handle the bait with your fingers, the more effective your bait will be. Human hands have an amino acid that is an aversion scent to fish, so the less of this you deposit on the bait through handling, the more effective your bait becomes."
Happy fishing!

I prefer live bait and I always keep it moving. Given the right presentation, just about any freshwater fish will hit a minnow or worm. Fish will hit 'anything' at any given time. It's all in the presentation. I prefer Jigs with a minnow or night crawler. If I do use an artificial bait, it's a spinner.
Good luck!

Like everyone else said, it depends on what your trying to catch.
Best Baits: Worms, Minnows, and crayfish. Those are the three best baits to use.

artificial bait lures, it is so exciting when you catch a fish using a artificial lure especially for the first time you have got to learn and give it a try.

Depends on the type of fish, but Sardine oil and garlic work with some kinds. Worms and crickets with some others.

Chicken parts like hearts, gizzards, and liver. Lures for top water. Live bait for anything else. Keep in mind mullet only eat top water insects.
