Jman59wl3 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I'm useing a Curley tail (live) and I'm leaving it overnight in the water and wondering if anything eats these? Quote
mikey5string Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Not sure I understand the question. You're using a live lizard? Like an alive lizard? And leaving it in the water overnight? on a line with a hook? Why? Sure something will eat it. A bass, another fish species, another lizard, snake, a bird, turtle, racoon.... And it will swallow it and probably die. Why leave it overnight? Why not use it while fishing? Or just use a soft plastic lizard. Probably just as if not more effective and a lot more fun! Quote
mikey5string Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I just read that the curly tail lizard is an actual lizard in Florida. So if you use them as bait I would tend the line and not leave it overnight to reduce by- catch and killing the whatever that might swallow it. Quote
Jman59wl3 Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 Sorry! It was a dead Curley tail and thought some catfish will eat it! Quote
mikey5string Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I think youd have better luck with other bait for cats. Livers, old fish guts and stuff like that. I dont know that anything would eat a dead lizard. Maybe a turtle or eel. If youre after cats, ask around what others are using youll have better luck! Quote
