When targeting elusive fish, it's essential to use bait that mimics their natural prey and appeals to their senses. Live bait such as minnows, shrimps, or worms are often effective as they provide realistic movement and scent in the water. Additionally, artificial lures like soft plastic swimbaits or crankbaits can also be successful in enticing elusive fish. Experimenting with different bait types and sizes is key to finding what works best for the specific species you are targeting.
