dont have pike or perch here. carp and bass produce mostly juice. no clue on bluegills. that juice though is good stuff too.

If those were the fish I had to choose from I'd use the carp

Carp makes a decent fresh bait but not much oil mostly juice/water sludge.

How about sheepshead (drum). Throw back a pile of them every summer walleye fishing on lake Erie.

Use the walleye fat. Your walleye should be full of it. Separate fat from guts and sun render. Without all the fish and just the fat it renders in a week in the sun and it will be about a 90% return. I've been doing it for years. Makes excellent fish oil

Washxc do you catch any catfish when walleye fishing? Lots of fat on them. In Lake Huron we get both sheepshead and catfish. Usually I will not use a crawler harness as too many catfish, still hit the lures just not as many.

Thanks turtle, I've never thought of separating the fat from the walleyes. I usually get about 100 legal walleyes a season. Depends on the weather since my boat is around 17 ft. We do catch an occasional catfish, depending on depth but I've never kept them. Anyone chunk up or grind up those sheepshead for bait?

I try to catch gizzard shad in my cast net for the past couple of years. I initially took some and put them into one gallon glass jars and added sodium benzoate to preserve them. They turned to mush. On a good note, a nice dark oil formed on top that has a very mild, but definitely fishy smell. I added a thickener to the mush, and it made a good paste type bait. My buddy has used it to connect on three mink so far this year. I would think if someone had enough shad, they would produce a very good fish oil.

I just grind shad whole and fresh then freeze. Good coon and cat bait. Coyotes are not crazy about it but they will have a sniff most of the time.

Two oils I can get and like are the rendered oil from the belly fat in spoonbills and flatheads.

Danny do you have a source for spoonbill, other than Sudden Valley?

No !

You can make juice. . .
The oil gland from a common carp, is in it's head .
Other than a gland, which produces a small amount, oil comes from FAT !

( Winter) catfish, trout , salmon. . .all good sources.
It's what I use. I have lots of photos on my FB page and if I could ever figure out how to down load a photo on here, I will be happy to show in detail how I make sun rendered fish oil
