Yesterday, I noticed a definite uptick in strikes after I threw the leftover milk from my thermos (for my coffee) in the hole where my deadstick was - - I caught four pickerel in relatively short order out of that hole (which had not had a strike for at least the past hour) before the milk dissipated and the water in the hole cleared up again.
Hmmmmm the soda part I have not heard of, interesting....
Very cool, it’s funny you say Grape bc grape Kool aid powder over sunflower seeds or popcorn is one of my Bear Bait tricks, and it haseto be grape
Amazing, I know fish in the Amazon do that with falling fruit and nuts.A roadkill animal hung over a brook with natives works great to concentrate them as the maggots fall
I’ve spent countless hours doing the same. I’ve been fortunate to never live in a place that I couldn’t walk to the river in the yard. I’ve lived on the Bellamy, the cocheco, the isinglas, and the Salmon Falls. Something about Rivers does something for me that waterbodies never can or will. I prefer Rivers when fishing and think if you can master those it makes bodies of water a breeze, funny how the animals gravitate to them as well. It’s something about how it’s just everchanging and brings new opportunities each second that I love
Water is life... Only 2 of my years have I lived not waterfront and I was miserable. I need to be around water and the critters that need to be around it as well.
back in my youth, there was a brook that ran through the woods behind my Aunts house in Andover Mass,it was spring fed and started in the hills and ran into fish brook, which runs into the Merrimack, that brook had native brookies, I don't know if anyone else on the planet even knew it, I use to catch them all summer, one fall I got several that had distended bellies.. I kept one ( I never kept them because they were natives)to see what was up with their guts, darn thing was full of grapes... there were wild grapes ( a great deer hunting spot) that grew on the trees over head... evidently these fish were eating grapes, I never saw it again but I never forgot it either.
Saltine crackers and canned tuna or mackerel mixed up works for anything
There are probably as many recipes for chum mix as there are anglers who use chum when fishing.I do prefer to chum when possible and legal, but it's not always possible.I found some cheap stinky cum at Family Dollar...$1 can of sardines (in brine). Each can has 2 sardines, which look better suited as cat food than human food, but they fall apart quite easily, and spread out nicely when dropped down a hole.The only down side is that if you fish from that same hole your line will pick up and HOLD that stink!!!!
You might wanna proof read that one... After all, punctuation and grammar is so important right?
Oh my god i just shot my drink out of my nose after reading that don't you love auto correct!!
Haha, he found it in the men's room, I hope......I'm sure if some of the "special sauce" Tim found was added it could increase the attraction but I won't be looking too hard for any.
