If you have ever been trolling fishing, or have been an angler for any amount of time, you know that using live bait to troll with is an excellent technique for ripping the trophy fish out of your favorite pond, river, or creek. Using live wild shiners is the best way, and you can catch all types of freshwater species using this bait. Largemouth bass, musky, walleye, catfish, smallmouth bass, and a lot more. There aren’t many freshwater species that won’t readily feed on wild shiners.

Presenting the bait to them in the proper manner is still key, even though you are fishing with live bait. The reason is, if you are drifting at 4-5 mph, you are going too fast for the fish. They aren’t ever going to come across a shiner booking it at 4-5 mph, so keep your speed in mind while you are trolling fishing!
