Worms get you more small fish, cut bait gets you fewer but larger fish.

Last year we started to get a few suckers right around this time, especially on the evening of sunny days where the water was slightly warmed up in the shallows.

I rarely catch anything large enough to need a net (and if it's a pike... well... I don't mind lipping them bare-handed)
