Is this going to improve the fishing? Hurt it because they are filling up on them? Has anyone tried to use them as bait?

There is going to be some great top water action this year!!!

My friend mentioned to me the last time the cicadas came out, it was a bonanza on the rivers. I imagine it'll be a feeding frenzy.
As far as bait, Megabass makes a cicada lure called the siglett.

I personally watched that Siglett work on UP smallies in the past. I don't remember if that was the last time we had cicadas or not. Andrew can chime in but I believe he did buy the lure because of the cicadas.

lol I actually got it as a gift from a friend who was in Japan for the summer. It worked well before the cicadas came. I don't remember if I was able to get out during the last hatching though. I LOVE THAT LURE THOUGH! On the upper potomac it did so well. The action is similar to a jitterbug but with a light, sharp rattle.
I actually thought the fishing was slow during the last hatch because there was so much for the fish to eat but maybe I'm remembering wrong.
