Question????

Here Is A Question That Probably Have Different Rules State By State.

I Was Fishing One Time For Sunfish And Crappies And Wasn't Having Much Luck, But This Guy Sitting Not Far From Me Was Having Way Better Luck Than Me. I Sat There After Seeing Him Pull 5 Fish Out Of The Whole And Me None, Well I Seen Him Do Something The Start Fishing Again And Again Caught A Bunch More. Well I Seen Him Do It Again So I Walked Over There To See What Was Up. Here What He Was Doing Was Dumping Fish Scales Down The Hole, Now These Weren't Plain Old Fish Scales They Were The Scales From shinner Minnows. Let Me Tell Ya Folks This Really Works But Works Even Better If There Are Already Some Crappie Down There Because This Puts The Feed Frenzy On Big Time.

I Guess The Question Would Be Has Any One Else Tried This Before.

We have thrown out crushed minnows before...And it will turn the bite back on...Between the scent of the minnows and the sparkles of the scales...It can be a lot of fun....

yep tessie this guy would keep his dead shinners and scale them for doing this, and still use the dead shinners for catfishing in the summer i couldn't believe how much this guy had.

Never heard of doing that before. As strict as Minnesota is with their fishing regs, I'm surprised it's not illegal.

i thought the same buddy, my thought that it would be a form of chumming i have a buddy that is a DNR im going to check with him and see. but man it still worked real good though.

Mike,you can do the same thing with a can of cat food.Just dump a little of it in the water ever so often.

Cat food eh John???

Sure can buddy and it works great..Get a can of cat food that has Tuna or some other type fish in it..Toss out a scoop of it every so often.

You can toss sardines in the water too....

never tried it but i may now.........LOL

cat food sounds great, but the sardines I might have ate before I could toss them out, love the smelly little devils.

You can use a pinch of silver glitter too....And it's alot easier to get. I used to use a spray on fish formula that had anise and glitter in it.
