Fish Oil Capsules as bait?

[dingoofus]

Has anyone tried using a fish oil capsule as bait before? You know, the type you take to maintain your heart, brain and joint health?

I have a container of them here that are now out of date and I am thinking of putting them on a hook and seeing if it does anything?

If nobody has tried it, then I will be giving it a try this afternoon and I will be able to tell you all if it is effective.

While I am on the fishing subject, any good berly recipes?

well they are liquid so they would pop when you put them on a hook. also after a minute or two they would dissolve.

If they do disolve you mite be able to use the as a atractant. Ive nvr thought of this before

I might do an experiment, I have one sitting in water at the moment to see how long it lasts, I will then pierce one and see how long it lasts. if they last a fair amoun of time, I will try them out fishing, one thing is for sure though, I will add it to my berly.

Yeh, just a mixture of old bait, bread and other things all blended up and dunked in the water to draw the fish in.

My spelling for it could be wrong.

oh ok. We call it chum. sounds crazy but could work fine.

Well, I manage to get a bit of interest in the capsules, nothing worthwhile though. Maybe there just wasn't aything beg and keen enough to take it whole, I will try it a second time in a few days before I rule it out though.
