So can anyone tell me if using maple sausage for bait is it ok to cook it so it better stays on the hooks? Never tried this but i hear it works fantastic. And i wonder if the flavored bacon would be just as effective? Oughta be easier to thread the hook through ? Appreciate any input. Thanx. Fishing Flathead Lke in Mt.

Might as well cook it first so you got a snack if the fish arent biting

Oh ye of little faith!
(Even fish need a change of diet every now and then!)

Wonder if they'll now show fish eating it in the Jimmy Dean commercial? ;D

On Flathead Lake, Johnsonville maple syrup sausage is the favorite brand. It's irritatingly fragile, but it catches fish.

Raw links. Here's how you use them: Thread an egg shaped slip sinker onto your main line, and then tie a clip to the end of the main line. Tie a treble hook to a 3 foot leader with a loop at its end. Stick a crochet hook or a stiff wire with a little hook bent into its end through the center of the link, use the crochet hook or hooked wire to pull the leader through the center of the link, pull the treble hook up against the end of the link, and clip the leader onto your main line. If you're ice fishing, drop the sausage to the bottom, or suspend it a couple of inches above the bottom. If you're using a tip-up, set the flag. If you're using a rod, release its spool. If a lake trout picks up the sausage, you can either set the hook right away, or let the lake trout run off with it some distance to give it time to swallow the hook.

Has anyone tried using the grand slam breakfast from IHOP? If there was a way to keep the eggs on your hook I bet you would catch a huge mac

Might work, but never know when Ihop will run out of pancakes and then you wouldn't do so good
-

I'd eat that.

I thought I might give it a try next winter but I am having trouble picturing that
-
the truth is most mt lake trout like polish sausages grilled and cut into 1 inch pieces.(not to heavy on the char marks)
-
First time I took my buddies ice fishing for Lakers
my buddy spent 40 bucks at Zimmers tacklev for bait lol told them all you need is the sausage he thought I was joking but the sausage was the only thing we caught them on
-
It's like using power bait, cut sausage in thirds and put sausage on a treble hook,
-
Lol, regular or maple flavored
