When I was younger I had a "pet" boa, and used to feed that pissy thing mice, always frozen that I would thaw out and feed it, anyways, I was wondering if anyones ever tried using a mouse/small rat as bait? Just curious,lol

snake's eel's and mice = bait.

Since I keep snakes I always have some mice on hand. I have never used adult mice. Just the newborn babies. The only thing I seem to catch are large pan fish and a random bass here and there with mice.

I actually just caught a nice 10lb channel cat on a vole that got lawn mowerized. The vole had gotten its head and tail taken off, so I think it'd do great if you rough it up a little.

Tried it for the first time in 2010. Bought two live ones and hooked it throgh the loose fur on the back. Cast them out alive. They came back in drowned. Did get one real hard tug while it was out. Not sure what smacked it but it was hard.

Alot of them get drowend when the bottoms flood in spring. Catcha river bottom flooden for the first time ina year or so the cats feed heavy on stuff that gets drowned. Back in 2008 bottom flooded out real good here and the blues where eaten moles, babey birds ect that have drowned. Also around bridges some have large swift colonys caught alot of med sized cats around em. lota baby birds fall in ect arond dem spots.
