Good question, I have not tried live bait, just plastic worms (senkos). Many of the ponds have lots of small to medium size bass. I release everything I catch. I would never consider eating a fish caught in the Villages since so many chemicals (fertilizers and bug pesticides) all eventually wind up being drained/leached into the ponds. Fish On!
