    Whats the best colour for maggots...

    ...have the fish you caught a preference?,I've been asked to do a study by Yorkshire TV's outside film unit for a new programme on deep sea fishhing in Pontefract,they are looking at calling it 'Did you see that maggot Donald? no Syd it's dark',we are looking which colour shows up best for night fishing.

    The person giving the best reason for that colour will get mentioned in the end titles(after me of course),don't be shy send your ideas to...

    Director of colouring(not books 'cos that's Maureen Cumberbowl,Ms)

    I've always used the traditional white ones but I hear the new fangled fluorescent pink and purple poka dotted ones are really a hit in the Piscean world.

    "did not read the post, thought it was just about bait"...........

    On another note I have never used maggots for bait, only small live fish, prawns and pippies(best thing ever).......

    I might leave the Roast for dinner out side for a few days and see how we go

    Have heard of blokes storing the maggots in their mouth when out fishing so as to make them wriggle more befor putting them on the hook. Bags not me trying that one though

    You should read the book about Tom Kruze - the birdsville track postie. No fridges back then. He said they used to throw some macaroni in with the Lamb chops so they couldn't tell which puffy white bits were macaroni and which were maggots

    Which reminds me - time for lunch...

    Ahhh maggots ... very useful little critters they are too, especially for cleaning out wounds which have turned a bit "dodgy"
