This is just a point of interest really and nothing by way of matter of fact.
I've read one or two posts in another thread which indicated that Zander mainly eat dying or dead fish and whilst I've caught Z's on deadbaits my overall experience has been the opposite, with livebaits being consistently better on all three of my Zander waters.
Which ties in with the whole predatory instinct and 'thrill of the chase' ethos for me.
The thing with deadbaits is that they are convenient, you don't have to catch 'em first and they are allowed on many waters where livebaits aren't and I think that's why they account for so many fish, and not forgetting the easy meal.
One thing's for sure, of all the fish that I will never sum up in respect of baits the Zander will likely always be top of the list.
I didn't want to pervert the other thread by asking the question there and all opposing opinions respectfully received, so what do you think?
