They work good for possum and racoons too.
Geez I'd take a few of those off your hands if the season wasn't almost over.. I'm sure they would work as well for cats as they do for pike..
We always use shrimp and walking sinker rigs while catfishing,was wondering if anyone has used smelt considering I have 200 of them and wouldn't mind sacrificing a few for cat bait.
Sorry if this question has been asked a bazillion times, but where do you get whole smelt? What store or source exactly? I stopped by Meijer yesterday and looked, but all they had were "fresh" ones that had been cleaned (not frozen or whole, no head, etc).I'm pretty desperate to find something that will work on Muskegon Lake - for tip-ups and for soft-water casting. For softwater, maybe I'll put one on a small cleo or something shiny and cast it. Or maybe I'll try dead perch instead of the usual live ones on tip-ups. I refuse to buy shiners at the bait shop.
where do bullhead rank in the icefishing world???
Just below crappie.
