cyclops2 Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Had some nice big ground SLUGS. Fish sucked them in. Less than 5 seconds later they were spit out undamaged 2 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted January 31, 2022 Super User Posted January 31, 2022 Here’s another they rarely mess with, and spit them out unscathed if they do - those black swimming whirligig beetles. 1 Quote

Super User gim Posted January 31, 2022 Super User Posted January 31, 2022 I saw en episode of River Monsters that focused on the invasion of Cane Toads there. Many of the native predators and fish began to eat them and then die because of the poison the toads have on their backs. Barramundi in particular, which are kind of like a supersized bass, were dying in droves. Eventually, the Barramundi built up a resistance to the Cane Toad poison. Quote
cyclops2 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 I was too interested in the visual watching to bother. 2 other fish did the same routine. You are right. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 31, 2022 Super User Posted January 31, 2022 Why would anyone want to deal with a slug as bait? 1 Quote
cyclops2 Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Why would anyone use anything that looks like a Breakfast Sausage ? Quote
Super User PhishLI Posted January 31, 2022 Super User Posted January 31, 2022 Threading on a big, nasty, struggling night crawler is nasty enough for me. I'd projectile vomit trying to hook a slug. 2 Quote
mrpao Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Many slugs apparently have pretty nasty tasting mucous. That's their defense system. Most creatures wont touch them. 1 Quote
