Favorite bait lately is Mussels found on shore during  lowered water .Great jig tipping bait .When I clean fish I use the roe from Yellow Perch and the eyes of fish I keep .More great jig tipping baits and eyes stay on the hook well and catch several fish !

I'll let you know on that Leo. Although I do have live bait here mostly for the grand kids still having a hard time ridding myself of my jigs.

David, in your areas, based on reports, there are quite a few dense population of of BSFs, introduced by BSFs ranchers, and natural migration. It's all about attracting them. If you can't seem to attract them using the sweet fruits, and moisten compost piles, for the next few months during peak mating seasons, let me know. I'll send you a box full before the winter arrives, allowing them to settle in before winter, and next warm spring, you'll have a few thousands in no time.

The best way to attract them is to add high density of rotting fruits, 2 to 4 inches below a damp pile of leaves/shredded paper, discouraging gnats (not so much with white mites). Since you're in peach country, and people around you may have more peaches that what they can do with them, harvest all the fallen-rotting peaches for your pile, and you will smile from ear to ear as both the worms and BSF larvae occupy the piles.

LOL grit..plenty of goodness there.

Dick, there are black soldier flies (BSFs) in your neck of the state. However, they're spreaded far and wide, with very, very, very low density, due to the chills. However, the larvae have the capacity to go into dormant state during chills, and continually fattening themselves up. BSFs are not deemed as invasive species in your state, or neighboring state. May down south, but they're more nuisance than invasive, depending on how bad the decomposing areas may be. They're more helpful and harmful. Yest, like maggots, the larvae can be found inside human and pets (stomach for a few hours). However, they're not harmful inside live bodies (rarely..and I do mean rarely..in the upper intestine). They normally get excreted along with live fiber/roughage greens meals.

Let me increase my population of larvae up. Once I reach a higher density, I'll gladly provide you some if you care to have a few.

David don't forget to throw in some grits for good measure.

Leo I don't think we have them animals here in Ohio at least I don't remember ever seeing any.

Well, Leo, I have a compost heap out by the garden.
This is peach country and I love bananas....
it's a natural.

NC and SC are full of them. They thrive all over the heavy composted area of the forests. However, they prefer sweet fruits over composted ground any day.
