Hey girl, no some people bait them, but I find that a hard way to hunt....I use a harpoon but most of the guys use a bow, either way is attached to a bouy, then they get mad and run on you, you fight with them like you would a fish, only much bigger, try and wear them down and get them close enough to the boat to bangstick them, then you try and get them in....they are good eatin, you run them thru a tenderizer and bread them and deep fry them...it is very good.....on your application, they ask you where is your first choice to hunt and give you a list to choose from...then when you get your tags, they tell you when (what phase of the hunt) and where...we usually choose the south end of the Lake out of Belle Glade, we have gotten some very nice gators out of there and the launch is protected....sometimes we go out of Clewiston.....either way is a long trip for us....couple few hours round trip...
