Just sharen some know how about the Mo river. Mullberrys when ripe a nice snack in late may to june. But when ya got mullberry trees overhangen the river or feeder creeks commen into a river or they get flooded with ripe berrys on HUBBA-HUBBA. Blues eat em channels eat em and bait fish like small carp and buff fish go nuts on on em in turn drawen up de flatheads. I anchor a good way above em and tend to walk baits like worm balls and small perch, gold fish ect under em with the current usen a 3 way rig. I tend to walk the live baits up by the root ball or base of the trees and the worms and cut baits further out. I have seen a fishfinder go nuts cruisen a line of flooded mullberry trees many times and anchored back to em to fished and had Days ya dream of with non stop action. Just thougt I would share and help the new guys out fishen the Mo and Miss rivers ect to try a new pattern when the water is high and nuts and fishen the channel is almost imposible. The creek mouths with some mullberry trees and soft current can ruin ya fast. Not to mention ya need a snack fresh ripe mullberrys are awsome. No wonder catfish like em.

I was just thinking about using mulberrys for bait the other day.

When the wild grapes are ripe in the late summer same thing goes on. Had some fun last year, you never know what it is till you get it in but lots of action.

thanks for sharing man! I don't think we have any mullberry trees here in Fl but I could be mistaken.

When I was a kid I saw an old commercial man baiting his jump boxes with grapes when the
muscadines were ripe and falling in the river where the vines were in the tops of trees overhanging
the water.

Y'all are sure right about cats liking mulberries and muscadines. There's one member on here who caught a big cat that was drunk on fermented muscadines. (I've been guilty of that myself a few times, being a home winemaker).arty:

I caught a big carp as a kid flyfishing with a muddler minnow /mulberry slurped it off the surface ! Never thought about cats liking them.
