Any Fishermen Out There?

I got talking to an old fisherman the other day and he was telling me that warming maggots in your mouth increased your chances of catching fish.

 

Anyone else heard that?

 

I await your answers with baited breath.

Reel-y quiet no doubts. Too cold for cats to climb trees this weather :)

fuck me,we are casting the net far and wide !!!

You'll net get me twice, though I used to fish now and again on seven acres and at the bottom of Oakenbottom road, a good way was to put maggots under a rock for 5 minutes, the maggots soak up the gunge on the bottom of the rock and it hypnotizes the fish, almost as if the maggot is the fishs master, the blood cells in the fish who witness a fish being caught aren't strong enough to warn other fish and they can't talk, so it continues until maggots or rocks become exstinct.

Fish don't speak? Really?

Surprised Carrp hasn't joined this discussion.

Depends upon what approach you use.

 

Maggots wriggle more when warm.

 

A wriggling maggot under the water is supposed to be more attractive to fish.

 

Using dead maggots is a method of 'ground baiting' used by some anglers as they can't wriggle into the mud/silt and lie around as an attractant.

 

I have heard a tale where two chaps challenged each other to orally warm a maggot- and it ended up as a maggot swallowing contest.

stop codding about

Reel it in lads?

He's just spinning a line

 

I fell for it hook, line and sinker!

Be making a film about it next, Diddles will get casted for it. He could bring his fishy fingered cousin, even if she is a trout.
