    Default Road kill


    I read this tip in a magazine a few years ago, and was wondering if anyone has ever done it.
    the tip said to get some form of road kill, and hang it in a tree that is in the water. then maggots will begin to live on the body, and slowly fall into the water attracting fish at a slow constant rate.

    Sounds funny but it just might work. Don't know if I would go around collecting roadkill to try and catch a few more fish. But hey, different strokes for different folks.

    if i remember right i think it was based more for catfishermen, the maggots would bring in bait fish, and the cat fish would come in for the bait fish.
    but it should work for just about any species. it sounds like a good way to create a honey hole. but i dont know if i would go through the trouble either.

    we have taken dead chickens and put them in a onion sack above the shallow water and did this...When we would bank fish near it we would just hit the limb it was tied to and they would hit the top of the water. And the blue gill bass, crappie would hit them instantly...So it does work

    Today is a good day, I learned a new trick. I hid a road killed skunk in my co-workers spare tire on a ford ranger once, but I wouldn't hang one where I planned to fish!!!

    Sounds like a good idea, in theory. I think I'll leave this one up to you guys, though.

    Read where it works great for gill fishing. If you do this be sure your roadkill is DOWNWIND!:D
