Well done Mate ... I reckon I might stick to buying them also however

I was dry wreching just watching the video think I will stick the buying them

Hey just a thought , put all of your fish frames , in chicken wire , like in a roll , frames in chicken wire ,roll the chicken wire up , like a tube , when they have been blown , wrap in news paper , and bury , take out and shake the maggots out …...EASY , most of the fish stays in the mesh , shake , shake and put the SH&t in the neighbours bin . not Rocket science ……….…………. and you don't need a Vernier, to measure , fish don't go on size ……..of maggots …….? and the science that goes into …….. maybe catching F%^k all .

Yeah I've bought maggots before but now I've started on this journey - I'm going to see it through till I perfect the art. I caught my first decent bream on maggots in a spot where they were supposed to be hard to catch. I had tried with other baits and they were very hard to catch - but once the maggots got involved, they turned me into a bream catching machine - this started and evolution in my fishing which led to spending millions on lures and catching bugger all compared to my early catches on maggots. So my obsession with these creepy units runs deeper than I am proba

Here's a big tip that should not be repeated also .... When you have a supply of maggots/gents and have put the container of maggots/gents inside another container for a short period of time ......... Do not, I repeat, Do Not forget they are inside the other container and put that container in the freezer The maggots/gents do not like it

That video is why i use lures.

hello all i have just started fly fishing and i was wondering if some one could help me out a bit by telling me where i could go, as i would like to catch some trout and i dont know where they are. any tips on fly fishing would be much appreciated

Here's the last footage I got before harvest - at this stage there might have been a slight chance to separate them from the paper - but by the next day - it had turned to sludge

Thanks for the tip Lofty - I like the way you think I think I'll move away from anything a maggot can grip onto for my next batch - that means skinned carp fillet. What I noticed with using a can of cat food was - separating the maggots was a piece of piss - as you start adding heads and frames - it gives the maggots something to hang onto - this means you will be tempted to shake them out and splatter your legs with some of the foulest smelling bits known to man. It also adds time to the part of the process you definitely dont want to add time to Theres alot to be said for th

I don't know much about it. There is a couple of clubs you can try here in South Australia. SAFFA - http://www.saflyfishers.asn.au/SAFFA_Welcome.html SAFWAA - http://www.safwaa.org/

Yeah before the sorting process I was congratulating my self on how well prepared I was I had my rubber gloves on - I'd already dug a 2ft pit for the scraps - I had the hose ready to rinse the maggots in a sieve - I had the bran all ready in there storage container My plans of a smooth operation flew out the window when the stench set it - from then on it was a mixture of panic and rash decisions Trying to pry open the head, to get all the maggots out, unleashed a smell worse than Satan's bung hole and thats when I started to panic - after that I was cutting my losses and tryin

Well that was a freaken night mare Here's some stuff I learnt about using carp for maggots There is a heap of moisture in a carp as it breaks down - so you would either need a bucket with a drain to let it out - or about 10 times the newspaper I used If you dont use enough newspaper it will break down and turn into a sludge - a maggot infused sludge that is very difficult to pick maggots out of. Also dont use the head - they just burrow in and hang on when you are trying to shake them out End result was a hell of alot of mucking around and I lost 2/3rds of the maggots

Lol PP a man after my own heart, i too search the bargain bins, and if your really lucky you find older lures out of manufacture that you wish you had heaps off. Yes marketing is a funny thing these lures will catch you these says the sales rep! Hmm as you walk through the checkout he thinks "well that lure sure catches a lot of people, not sure about fish though" lol, when im in a tackle store and the sales person tells me "oh this lure looks real nice" i just say yeah but what do the fish think about it? I went into bfc (killing time) and was looking at jigheads and sp's for tuna and ki
