This is a challenge and can be somewhat tricky if the fisherman succeeds in keeping the bait looking and acting natural. With a little effort, this can be accomplished. Successful fishermen will address as many of the senses as possible The best way to address the senses is by the way the bait is rigged and presented.In order to excite as many senses as you can, take time and care in preparing your bait, Surf fishermen are notorious for cutting a bait and merely jabbing the hook through it.

This will make handling much easier. Next, cut your bait into chunks that will match the fish you are after. Once the chunk of bait has b...
