best way to kill maggots

[Teabreak]

That rather depends whether you`re fishing on the float, ledger or on the surface. It`s a very versatile bait and much underated. This is one of the best articles I`ve read on it`s use.

Idler's Quest: My Way with Bread

Thanks for that link. It's got great ideas that I would never of thought of. Can't wait to try some out.

any idea if it's open on Monday and what the maggot prices are?

Fishperch that is priceless fella, I live in Manchester, how the hell do I know the price of maggots in Burnam.mg: I just used the Internet and found there was a tackle shop in Burnam, and it gives you there phone number. If you like I'll phone and ask for you shall I??

As for how to hook bread flake, size 14's hook, a piece the size of your thumb nail, fold round the hook, along the shank. Where the eye/spade end is pinch together leave the rest to fluff up.

As for how far will it cast, trial and error with whatever style of fishing you are doing.

Very, very interesting. I like the big punch idea. I have done similar by taking the crust off a slice and compressing the remainder flat between two boards then cutting pieces to suit with scissors therefore varying the size.

FISHPERCH........I think there is enough now on this subject to satisfy. Don't forget to let us know what you caught.

As a guide:
If its a msg I've written - it probably is
If its written by John Step - it might be but he could just be confused
If its from alsoran - who knows? - funny b*ggers these Mancs!

Seriously though - Hope you have a good hols and the fishing goes well - Tight Lines!

This was an attempt at surrealist comedy.

I’m useless at killing live maggots with the water method, I either scald them and they go white or I don’t kill them enough (!) in the first place in which case they end up everywhere after waking up again.

Not an issue really as I just freeze them down instead in the bait freezer and they come out perfect, exactly as per how Chefster described earlier when krilling.

If ever I lose the bait freezer I shall simply compile my memoirs of chair modifications and sit and read to ‘em, I reckon they’ll be slitting their own throats after five minutes

They are young you need to explain to them what's right and wrong and what wont be tolerated. Scalding them is never the answer

Could someone please enlighten me about all this, because I am obviously missing something?
What is the point of using dead maggots? Do fish actually prefer them to live ones, and if so any idea why?
