Slugs as bait

I've used slugs many time for bait,mostly for smallmouth bass. The secret is to catch them in beer! You put a paper plate filled with beer outside in area were slugs frequent. The slugs climb inside and drown in the beer. The alcohol in the beer cleans some of the slime off. This helps the beer soak into the slug. I know it sounds crazy, but it works. My grandfather used to do it all of the time.

Baitboy, yeah they die, but it doesn't really matter. Even when alive they don't have that much movement. I think they resemble leeches when fished in a stream or pond. Your garden is definitely the best place to try this. I can get a dozen some nights in my garden. You really have to try them!

Hey NEMO,

How do you fish them? Do you fish them on the bottom or drift them? I can't remember ever trying them, but the thought has crossed my mind once or twice. I wonder if trout will hit them, if so bring some to the creek with ya and we'll see.
