Catching bait can be like catching any other fish. Some times they're there, some times not, some times they bite, some times not. You can usualy catch bait in LJ with a bit of work though. Like todd one said, right passed the reserve bouys usually produces. A fish finder helps but so does watching for surface and bird activity. Greenies are by far the most popular bait but spanish and even smelt will work. Some times the sardines are thick and they work well too but don't live in kayak sized bait tanks well. If you're after YT and WSB a bigger bait will work fine. Too big is about the size that can't swim circles in your tank becasue they will die. Larger baits usually keep bass,and cuda off, allow you to use larger hooks, and heavier line. Mike
