My wife fished live shrimp under a cork and I fished artificial. We both hooked up on the first cast, then I outfished her at least 2 to 1. But I was covering a lot more area by casting all around the boat and she just casted and let sit. The fish had to go to her bait.
I caught the bigger fish, but again, I casted all over tarnation. She just casted off the back of the boat and let her cork sit. Now and then she would pop it and bring it back to the boat slowly.
If you want to catch more and bigger fish, you have to chunk your lure/bait in more places and not wait for the fish to come to your hook.
