For beginners in saltwater fishing, using live bait is often the most effective option. Some of the best saltwater fishing baits for beginners include shrimp, squid, mullet, and pilchards. These baits are readily available at most bait shops and are attractive to a wide range of saltwater fish species. When using live bait, it's essential to present it naturally by hooking it properly and adjusting the weight of your rig to match the current and depth of the water. Additionally, artificial lures such as spoons, jigs, and soft plastics can also be effective for beginners as they are easy to use and can mimic the movement of real baitfish.
