What is a "rice slick"?

Postby bwm » Tue Jun 28, 2005 11:29 am

I read in a fish article about folks catching fish on rice slicks? What are they talking about? Within rice fields or is this slang for a type of bait?

Thanks.

I wish I knew the answer, but the truth is I can't help. It is nice to have a post about something worthwhile and I must commend you for it. I will be watching to see what a rice slick is myself.

A rice field slcik is basically a small bream looking fish that you get out of flooded rice fields. I think I am right on this, some of you farmers can help me out here.

I always thought they were bream too. I might have to give them a try next time I go catfishing.

Is this different from what is called pool perch or pond perch. I usually put a wire backet out in fish pounds to catch these.

What time of year are they large enough to be of any use? I might try them for catfishing near the end of summer also.

Green sunfish....your brother-in-law's ponds are loaded with them Rebelduck. We were baiting trotlines with them before the river dropped. Green sunfish is what everybody calls a pond perch.

But I never heard them called a rice slick.

It's RICE LICK :shock: ...........a new 'technological development' in duck attractants........sorta like salt licks for deer.

The ducks just swim up to a block of rice and lick it to get the nutrients they would normally recieve from eating the loose grain.....only they don't have to spend so much time foraging for their food. They can grab a quick snack and beat it back to the sanctuary before shooting time. :roll:

Put RICE LICKS out around your blind to get the ducks in range. :shock:

(Do ducks have tongues? :?
