Road kill

We use to use spoiled raw chicken in a garbage bag for chanel cat. Just tie it off to a tree and toss it in the river. Come back the next day with night crawlers and some cold beers and have a blast.

Not road kill and many states prohibits from picking them up. However, at a Community College pond one summer, I noticed a Muscovy duck that was dead up against the shore dropoff floating and covered with flies/maggots. Underneath and around that dead duck were swarms of bluegills and as those have said above, when a small wave would hit the duck, maggots would fall in the water and it resembled feeding pirannah. Bass would come zooming through ever so often to grab a bluegill as well.

I have a couple of commercial bug zappers over my ponds at home and the fish have become used to them dropping bugs in the water at night and a few during the day. They also got used to me walking on the pier to come and knock on the zapper (unplugged of course) to make the bugs fall that didn't when they were shocked. Each evening I could walk out on the piers and watch the fish literally swimming toward the pier when they heard someone walking out to the end hoping to get an easy meal.

We fished a lake once that had some frames built up over the water with plastic bags on them. We loaded up on the bream around them. The guy cleaned the fish, put the remains in bags and hung them on the frames.
