A baitfish is any of a number of varieties of small fish which are used as bait to catch larger fish.
Mainly minnows, crayfish, and small frogs.
Usually a lure made to imitate small baitfish, such as crankbaits and topwater splash baits.
ribbonfish are predatory and eat small fish, shrimp and other invertibrates. I catch them on fly rods using small baitfish flies.
A shad is often used as a small baitfish
When they are young they are eaten by larger fish and then become minnow eaters and finally small fish eaters. In lakes without shad or shiners they are the main baitfish.

No they are not. Sailfish are small and light, have no 'sword' on their nose and are known for their capacity to jump out of the ocean and then sail through the air over a considerable distance. Swordfish may weigh more than 1,000 pounds and although they sometimes jump above the ocean surface, their weight prevents them from doing any sailing.
Saltwater flyfishing is done with heavier tackle and typically uses wet flies resembling baitfish. However, saltwater fish can also be caught with "poppers," a surface lure similar to those used for freshwater bass fishing, though much larger. Saltwater species sought and caught with fly tackle include: bonefish, tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), sailfish, tarpon, striped bass, salmon and marlin. Offshore saltwater species are usually attracted to the fly by "chumming" with small baitfish, or "teasing" the fish to the boat by trolling a large hookless lure. Many saltwater species, particularly large, fast and powerful fish, are not easily slowed down by "palming" the hand on the reel. Instead, a purpose-made saltwater reel for these species must have a powerful drag system.
The Small School was created in 1982.
The Sailfish is the fastest animal in water. Sailfish can swim at speeds up to 110 km/h (68 mph). An estimation based off of the speed of a hooked marlin pulling out fishing line, the Black marlin is capable of swimming at speeds of up to 80 mph (130 km/h).
pretty much saltwater fish eat other fish in the wild. Out deep fish rely on bonita and other school fish for prey. If you are fishing, use dead or live baitfish such as bonita. This is used for bigger game fish. Inshore fishing can use a variety of bait including shrimp,live croakers, and small bait fish. There are a lot of choices in the ocean!
