Fishing with Live Bait & Natural Baits
Spanish sardines work great for many different species. Their body is slender with a bluish or greenish back, white belly and silver sides.
How to Catch Spanish Sardines
Anglers love sardines because they are fairly easy to catch with a cast net or with sabiki rigs.
Using Spanish Sardines as Bait
You can use them dead or alive and they work well when trolled and fished on the bottom. When fished alive, try weightless rigs when fish are shallow or higher up in the water column. Bottom rigs work great too, especially when fishing deeper water. As cut baits, rig them on your favorite bottom rig.
