Fisher's Choice Canned Baits by Timbuktu
With a day of rest
what does a bass fishing guide in Florida do? Well today I hit the
waters of East Lake Toho with a new bait in hand. Today I was doing
things a little different. Instead of chasing the bass
around the lake, I opted to go after a totally different species of fish…..
Florida Crappie!
East Lake Toho has been known for a long time to have some pretty good
crappie fishing and I decided to target them today with the new bait
from Timbuktu. This bait is called Fisher’s Choice and the one
I chose to use today was the Crickets. Having used live crickets many
times for catching crappie, using crickets from a can was a different
twist for sure.
Normally
the day would start out trying to get only one cricket out of the carrier
or trying to chase down the ones that slipped out before they hit the
water or found a hiding spot on the boat. Today was a nice change of
pace. Just simply opening up a can and slipping a cricket on the hook.
All of their baits are enhanced with ExcitaScent™ which
is a powerful scent attractant. Most people don't realize that fish
are heavily scent driven creatures.
Fisher’s Choice canned baits go through a sterilization process
that technically ‘cooks’ the bait without cooking it; this
results in a texture that remains soft but slightly more firm than live
bait. This allows for enhanced durability when fishing, more casts, and,
in the case of crickets, more whole crickets. The best part is no more
crickets scurrying around the boat trying to get away.
I slow trolled them today and got a handful of crappie for my rewards.
Casting them was very easy as the legs stayed intact making the bait
much more enticing to the crappie. The crickets are soft and moist and
did a get job for me. Spider rigging was the way to go out here with
the crickets. Slow trolled they held up great and did what they were
supposed to do, and that’s catch the crappie. They also offer Night
Crawler, Wax Worms and Super Worms. Check them out at Fisherschoicebait.com
These cans hold over 80 crickets per can and very reasonably priced at
Bass Pro Shops for only $9.99 per can. If you don’t use them right
away, that is no problem, if the can is unopened it will have a shelf
life of up to two years, and once they are opened will be good for up
to two weeks. How can you go wrong with that!
Tight lines and Great fishing!
