Some anglers swear by live bait. Others never put down their soft plastics.
So we decided to put both to the test, side by side, with Capt. Mike Goodwine.
Mike’s spent years on the water figuring out what actually works when the bite gets tough, and we wanted to bring his real-world knowledge straight to you, so you can cut through the noise, make smarter decisions, and catch more fish with less guesswork.

That’s for this video. I learned a better way to hook your live bait. Not sure about bitting off the tail 🤔

Thanks for sharing the video guys and I enjoyed every minute of it.
enjoyed the video
Capt Mike is such a great guide. I will be booking another trip next year. Thanks Joe, Mike and Luke!
I learned to make some smart choices
Looks like a super fun day! The chatter made it that much better. I fish almost exclusively with artificial, but appreciate these videos as I would like to do better about taking along less experienced fishermen and putting them on some fish.
