;D i think i'm making some enemies up at rice lake!! got there today, 5 people fishing, no one catching. unloaded my 20 foot fishing pole, tied on a maggot and my lil corkie float. cast out. ten seconds later the float vanished into the water!! flyguy beside me kinda glared at me. i kept fishing, kept getting hits one after another. pulled out a nice fat trout, then another. 3 in total. 15 hits. left about 2045 hours to head home and eat..........
the trick is in the presentation......my maggot hits the water like a bug falling off a overhaning branch, i space the dust shot weights so the bait drifts down at a nice slow rate, looks more natural. i also hone my hooks on a 6000 grit diamond hone. ;D ;D
-
nice otto! :)
-
Hey Otto, what time were you catching fish until? Or I guess it should be is what time was the bite on until (doesn't it get too dark?)? Was the flyguy catching anything?
-
hey love ur post............jus e- mail me next time.... dont tell e v e r y one
-
hey Itosh.....i was there until about 2045 hours, then i had to go home (work in the AM)
-i don't recall fly guy catching anything. there is a local fly fisher there who caught a couple of trout but he left just as i got there........
-
where do u get your maggots?
-
pet store (you can also buy mealworms, another excellent bait!), or stink up the garage and leave a chunk of meat out (stinks!) or use berkely micro's (grubs) - these are excellent and don't stink.....but then and again there is nothing like the real thing!! ;D
-
Sweet!!! :-X
-
are they live or dried or frozen?
-
Do they keep??
-
the real ones i get are twitching and moving!!!! same with the mealworms. i keep them in a bucket with about 2 inches of oats and bran on the bottom. (food) when i need some, i shake the bucket so they surface and grab a big handful.!!
-
