Anyone use Maggots for perch in open water? I use them pretty much exclusively on hardwater, but never tried it in the summer? Any thoughts?
-
Ive used them in the summer not so much for perch but for bluegills and stuff. They work well but they tend to get ripped off, and the small fish really get them.

Maggots will work year round for perch. Always good to have some on hand. Besides if you can get away with using maggots why not, they are cheap, easy to store, super hardy and probly one of the most difficult things for pesky perch to steal. Usually use a lead jig head with a wiggle tail body tipped with a maggot if im fishing with them.

they work good in summer esp.with hali and slip bobber
-
i never really thought of useing maggots in the summer but i'll give it a try ;D :-*
-
Any small grubs or live bait works well.
-

I use a small cubby jig with 5-7 spikes on it it works great.
-

REally??? Maybe thats how I should fish for them in Seneca lake in 60 FOW lolololoolol I am sure it works but the water would have to be kinda shallow wouldn't it??
Spikes do work for them!!!!! under a bobber... on a jig tied to a dropshot etc!
-
use them when im casting tubes under a slip bobber, adds some scent when a minnow would normally go zinging off
-
They sure do work! Maggots are productive year round. ;)

Maggots, minnows, rubber always work year round
