Just wondering if anyone has tried using mussels as bait (no shell, just meat)? I have some in the freezer that are a bit freezer burnt I was going to throw out. But then I got thinking, they are fairly fishy smelling, and might make good pike or sturgeon bait...
anyone ever tried?
Perch would probably like it... I know in the east, like Ontario, where we have small panfish, there are species that actually specialize in eating fresh water mulluscs and clams, so it would be a good bait for smaller fish.
