Yes but only for a limited time. They do make chemicals you can add to the water that will neutrilize the chlorine found in tap water. Also be careful if you are adding ice to your bait water as it also contains chlorine.
Organic life is extremely sensitive to chlorine because it is such an excellent oxidizer. Chlorine is highly toxic and fish can only survive if the concentration is extremely low. And I mean low! 1 microliter per liter of bleach (the chlorine compound in this case) is still toxic to zebra fish.
No, you use bait to get the fish out of the water......
Live bait
Live or cut bait fish native to the water, artiffical lures (plugs or soft baits) that imitates bait fish.
Tap water. But to keep fish healthy you will need to add a chemical called Water conditioner or Water ager. This simply removes any chlorine or chloride from the water as fish cant live in chlorinated water.
You don't. It is unlawful to fish with live bait in the provence of Alberta. http://www.albertaregulations.ca/fishingregs/general-regs.html
Only if the water is not chlorinated, as is the case with most city water. Also, it should be shaken up to oxygenate it before you put the fish in.
absolutely not! goldfishes cant live in chlorinated water. you need a water conditioner to remove the chlorine and ammonia from the water
It depends on the fish. Most fish will prefer a live bait over a dead one so even if you use live bait if there is no wiggle left in it best to change it.
Pike
The most popular Florida bait is live shrimp. However, depending on what fish you are targeting there are many other live bait and lures to choose from.
the best bait is cut ladyfish, cut mulet, and live mullet.
It would be very difficult and financially inadvisable, since fish flakes tend to dissolve rapidly in water. Also, fish flakes were designed as food for pet fish, any wild fish would much sooner eat a worm or some other form of live bait.
