What bait should you use for ocean fishing?

There are many types of artificial lures. Iron for yo-yo jigging, Many types of large game trolling lures, Bombers for fast retrieve (great for wahoo), cedar plugs, ballyhoos. Sabiki types for catching small bait. Large spoons. Soft Paddletails for inshore and offshore.

Bait selection can be narrowed down if you know what your target species is. Pompano and Snapper use very different bait from Yellowfin Tuna or Dorado.

Entirely depends on what you are fishing for. Bottom fishing: squid, shrimp and cut bait (chunks of fish)

Why are there posts saying the T in LGBT should be dropped? With what is happening in the US and beyond against the trans community cause for concern that if this is accepted could it be deemed acceptable to start on the LGB community again?

Top water: Mackerel, flying fish, anchovies/sardines, live squid.

Your best bet is to visit a bait/tackle shop local to where you want to fish. Talk to them for the best baits for your area. What works in the Pacific might not work in the Gulf of Mexico or the Indian Ocean.
