As most of my fishing life has been lakes, most bites are acceptable (small/large mouth bass, pan fish, etc).

As I hit LJ looking for a larger meal (YT, WSB, Hbut), I'm getting half my bait nibbled off by the small guys. Using a full squid, sure I'm bringing up some of the small guys, but really targeting the bigger guys.

IS there any trick, or is it just part of the hit and miss of fishing? Sooner or later I'll have something take my whole bait instead of the pesky nibblers?

Thanks in advance.
