What bait should you use for ocean fishing?

Top water: Mackerel, flying fish, anchovies/sardines, live squid.

Your best bet is to visit a bait/tackle shop local to where you want to fish. Talk to them for the best baits for your area. What works in the Pacific might not work in the Gulf of Mexico or the Indian Ocean.

Entirely depends on what you are fishing for. Bottom fishing: squid, shrimp and cut bait (chunks of fish)

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

There are many types of artificial lures. Iron for yo-yo jigging, Many types of large game trolling lures, Bombers for fast retrieve (great for wahoo), cedar plugs, ballyhoos. Sabiki types for catching small bait. Large spoons. Soft Paddletails for inshore and offshore.

Bait selection can be narrowed down if you know what your target species is. Pompano and Snapper use very different bait from Yellowfin Tuna or Dorado.
