Just wondering - since we've been having so much rain lately, I've been seeing a lot more slugs. Does anybody ever use them for bait, and if so, how do they do? Thanks!
Slugs?

I never gave it any thought before, but I bet channel cats would hit them. Especially if they have been freshly salted to increase the slime.

Slugs are one thing you can't add salt to - they will melt. My dad used to love to pour salt on them when I was a kid - cheap entertainment and it kept them out of his garden! LOL! I was just wondering about the slugs when Bo and I went on a worm hunt this afternoon. All the little pop up thunderboomers have really had the worms out. It's almost like money in the bank.

We caught fish on them but I wasnt impressed. whole or cut up on rod and reel and setlines they worked as good as worms. If we found alot we'd use them but for better catch rates the standard baits work better I think.

Yep, I've used baby toads before. I was at LBL and my worms had gotten left out of the cooler (who could have done such a stupid thing!) in 90+ temps. When we got to the campsite and discovered the mistake, we just went to plan B - there were literally hundreds of toads swarming the site. Bo and I kept the kids busy catching them and we kept busy fishing with them. Not bad, but I missed my nightcrawlers!
