The first season only sporadically.

No, I used lures. No bait. Well, wait a minute. I did use bait in the 1970s when salt water fishing by the canal and on the jetties on Long Island so I have to go with "yes."

You get 2 bags or boxes to put 2 different things to eat for you.
What will the 2 things to eat be for you?


In one bag will be an everything bagel with cream cheese that I would pull over to eat in a wildlife refuge or a park or a rest stop and in the other bag will be Twizzlers. The only time I eat Twizzlers is on a road trip. They are easy to grab from the passenger seat without looking, they don't melt in the car when it's hot (you can leave them in the car overnight), you can drop them and not worry about it or be distracted by it, they don't make a mess while you eat them.
