This is the best bait around, and free.

x2....I had a sweet shiner pond that I thought was a secret. NOPE..the place was LOADED. I went back last Fall to stock my bait tank for the winter ice fishing season and they were GONE. Someone cleaned them out. I only took what I needed. We found someones bait trap in the brush and put 2 & 2 together.
I had a friend who trapped mummies for ice fishing...he hooked me up. They worked just as well as shiners and they were MUCH more robust. You couldn't kill these things....I had them in my tank from November till March!!! Unfortunatley we had NO ice last year.
Go down to the Kickemuit river in Bristol....there are several public boat ramps. Park, throw a Mummie trap....do some quahogging, then go back and check your trap. You'll have some mummies.
