bait fishing
Worm on hook
Bait fishing is fishing with live or dead organisms—worms, minnows, insects, cut fish—to attract prey.
The bait is typically attached to a hook and may be suspended under a bobber or weighted to sink.
Distinguished from fly fishing and lure fishing, which use artificial imitations: I prefer bait fishing to casting lures all day.
