Thread: make your own crappie nibbles

that sounds like great.. seems like it would make great carp bait also!

They are great on lots of species of fish. I have caught bluegill, crappie, channel cats, carp, and a few large mouth bass. You can fish them on a plain hook or tip a jig with a piece. Also makes good chum. Throw a spoonful into your favorite brush pile to get fish active and feeding.

Charlie turned that chopper into swiss cheese and my uncle said that crazy pilot was smiling like he just won the lottery. He told my uncle he would be ok and then he flew that hunk of scrap metal like there was no tomorrow. SO LET ME THANK-YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR. HOOAH!!!

Early Feb 68 was not a good time to be in Nam and I speak from experience, we were in the middle of the Tet Offensive. Yes I was one of those crazy pilots, I graduated flight school at 19 and I didn't turn 21 till June of 68 and came home in Oct of 68. Being crazy and always coming to get you is why we were called "Gods Lunatics" Not sure where your uncle served but I was stationed at Tay Ninh about 60 miles NW of Saigon right on the Cambodian border and supported mostly the 25th Inf in the Hobo Woods and Iron Triangle. Tell your uncle another Combat wounded Vet said "Welcome Home"

I'm gonna give these a try and use anise oil. Got a question though, when you're done fishing for the day, do you leave them out or refrigerate them if you have leftovers? I'm guessing they'll start to ferment if you leave em sitting out between trips.

Will give these a try. Thanks for the idea.

hmm, i may give it a shot today. will report back if i try and catch anything.

didnt fish, going this weekend.
futhermore, i think that if i made a couple different recipes i could give the fish what they want. i think i will try mixing in berkley gulp alive juice.

Sounds like something I will try in the future. Welcome from Alabama. Glad you posted this.
