I used to use pork heart for walleye & perch. It seems to hold it's colour longer than beef heart. Way back when I liked the meat off of river clams for perch, cut into a small piece and could catch several fish before the meat was lost.

Sunday on Dillberry the fish were very aggressively attacking the lead weight 10" above the hook. If you can make a hook look like a lead weight, you will have a winner.

a year ago I saw a guy fishing from shore using what I thought were coloured marshmallows. After he pulled several Rainbows out I went to ask what he was using and they infact were ear plugs! He says they work great; they float and dont come of the hook very easily. Very interesting..

I have been meaning to try gell caplet omega three pills with fish oil in them. I figuge the gold coulor might work well for perch and whites and the scent could not hurt either. Thought of it a year ago but have yet to try it.

If you cant think of anything better to do with a perfectly good moose garlic sausage than stick it on a hook and chuck it in a river then you just give me a call.

Bought a full sized trout from the super store to see what sized like I could get out of wabamun. And actually ran out of trout. Not economical, but worth a shot for a record lol

unusual bait
Ran out of minnows one time, so I used a strip of black rag, and it worked great for pike.
