Thread: minnows for warmouth

... Roadrunners should be available in most any Wal-Mart, or any sporting goods store that has a fishing section. Aside from that, you could also have some made by the board members that tie jigs .... look on the jig tying forum for their names & pics of their work.

Direct from Blakemore, they run $3.75 for a pack of two (+s/h) ... so buying them elsewhere should be much cheaper
I think they run about $2.75 for a 2pk at my local bait store, and about the same at Wal-Mart.

If the current is that swift, you might even consider a 1/8oz size. But, if you want to use 1/16 ... be sure and cast towards the same way the water is flowing, so that you're bringing the lure back towards you against the current. This is the natural way a baitfish would be swimming, so your bait would look "natural" to the fish.

Where exactly, on the Erie Canal, do you fish ?? I'd like to Google Earth the location & check it out. I might be better able to help, if I understand more about "what/where" you're fishing.

got 1 better pappy, we use warmouth for catfishing. What we do is night stalk them on very rocky shores and use a head lamp, we find them and use our secret bait. Nightcrawlers lol on a 1/32oz size 8 hook. And we jig it in front of rocks and stumps. Sometimes at night you catch them patroling the rocks for food...In the day time they hide under the rocks so we jig every rock. Its fun on ultra lite rods..we caught about 6 dozen other day. in between 4-6inches. Bought me a poney mold other day im gonna try the charteruse thing.

Anyone have a pic of a Warmouth , while bass fishing I been catching a dark fish looks a lot like a gill but larger ?? getem on plastic worm and plastic jerk bait. >>>
