i have heard smoked salmon can be a killer bait for things from coon to yotes. i was wondering about other fish that i could smoke to make bait( got nothing better to do)maybe carp i was thinking.is smoked fish really that good of a bait? come on lets hear it.

I use smoked salmon and white fish alot for coons and mink, works great in pocket sets and pipe sets, catch a few rats too. I get my smoked fish for free though, no work.

I suppose it would work good...BUT WHY WOULD YOU USE SMOKED FISH FOR BAIT!?!?! Have you never eaten the stuff? There's not much that beats smoked salmon on wheat thins.

i was thinking about smoking carp for bait and other rough fish that i wouldnt eat.i do like smoked fish to eat.

i used some smoked herring in a coon cubbie and caught 2 big boar coons and a fisher brfore something ended up with it

what kinds of animals would be atracted to a smoked fish bait?

Hey Warcraft
I have used it for COON, POSSOMS, SKUNKS and Bear like it

Yes smoked salmon works well. I do not see any reason that smoked carp would not work. I use quite a bit of salmon and smoked salmon, just cause I have it available ot me. Might be worth a try for some of the carp from bow fishing.

I would only eat smoked salmon. But, I have used smoked suckers & carp in bucket sets. It works great for coon & skunks. I have never used it for mink, though.

do you think smoked fish would have any affect on predators? coyotes and such?

The reason I used smoked fish is because my brother-in-law smokes fish for a living. I get the stuff that doess't turn out to his specs. I also get alot of it to eat, good with crackers, cheese and beer.

I freeze the skins from my smoked salmon and any pieces left over and grind it up with fresh salmon and salmon eggs in the fall. add some antifreeze for when it gets cold and you're all set.

I tried smoking a salmon once but I couldn't keep the dang thing lighted. Must have been defective matches.
