TeqSherrif,
We used slipfloats set about 2 feet deep with a couple of split shot and a number 4 aberdeen hook. Hook the cicada from the neck down through the torso and out the tail. The fish seemed to prefer the tail/abdomen section but would also hit just the head with wings still attached.

What would be the best way to freeze them? In a container with water or maybe in a freezer bag without water? Just curious.
