what food do u put in perch jigs
I purchase a bag of floating fish food from any feed store in Texas. Small pellet, tan color, good for all kinds of fish including;
catfish, gill & crackers, crappie & warmouth. I fill an empty water bottle, tighten cap, cut a few holes with the pocket knife
and drop it into the trap. It floats, softens slowly, and attracts perch to the trap. It will last a long time and a bag will last a
very long time unless you toss/broadcast it on the water around your trap on a regular basis. It gives off an oil slick that
spreads easily with the wind moving it across the surface of the water. Caution, baiting may be illegal in some states. I pull
a water bottle filled with this behind my kayak and it will attract bait fish quickly. Everywhere you go, if you continue to pull
it behind you, you will leave a trail bait fish will follow. Hope this helps.
Dog food.
Horse and mule feed with molassas. A killer
Just about anything will attract little nibblers.:popcorn
Perch Trap??
I do something similar. I use an old mayo plastic jar and drill a few holes in the lid and smaller ones on the side. I have used wax worms, fisih food and tubiflex squares you can get at any pet store. Put a string to the lid, fill the jar, and drop it into the Lake. The scent makes great chum smell.Quote:
