Anyone use fallfish??
(1/1)
dyhrdicefishr:
Just wondering if anyone has used fallfish as bait??
Thanks :)
Master Angler:
I've used dead 5-7" creek chubs as bait for pike rigged on a quick strike
rig under a tip-up with good success. Got a 39" last year on one.
From what I know they are quite similar to a creek chub and should work
well.
Master Angler:
Never weighed it, just measured her and released.
Caught it in March when pretty full of eggs, my guess would be around
18 lbs.
Mr.Esox:
I've been using them for years with a lot of success.
Sasquatch:
This is weird but one day I was fishing a stream (open water) for trout and not doing very well. I was using small minnows and was only catching fallfish ( It was a low gradient stream, primarily a put-and-take water). When I was almost out of minnows I decided to cut up a fallfish for bait. I filleted it and cut it into strips and ended up catching a limit of trout. Ever since I've been doing the same. I've never known anyone else who uses them - most people I know can't even identify them.
