don't know that I've been five (5) times and caught nada ..... as you just confessed to doing ... >>>>catch a few Texas Smallies then ship them to me so we will have fresh bait for the weekend? however ... this puts me in mind of a story. .... -------------- lil ol redneck guy decides to go fishing but thinks of the boredom that comes with no catching so he stops at the bait shop to buy minnows and gets a quart mason jar full of moonshine (hoping to assuage the potential ennui with small libations) gets to his favorite spot on the bank of Ol Muddy, a fine place from which to recline/fish/imbibe bait his hook with one of the minnows chunks his line into the water and starts to observe his red/white plastic adjustable two inch bobber after a half hour of nada/zip/nothing he decides to take a pull on the jug not bad so he gets another swig nother half hour passes no bites two more pulls on the jar and he is starting to feel no pain or boredom nother half hour goes by the wayside four more pulls and less boredom (flights of fancy take place in his head) BUT he began to think of the poor minnow whom he has cruelly hooked and is swimming around hauling this two inch floating cork .... SO he pulls in his line pours a small bit of the moon into a cup places the minnow into the brew for five minutes or so while he has another two small sips himself decides that he MUST try to catch some fish so he throws the baited hook back into the water well ... lo and behold ... the bobber does not even bounce but twice and GONE GONE from sight and in a hurry ..... the lil ol man heaves back on the pole and hauls in a twenty five pound catfish ..... he immediately rushes to the bait shop to weigh in his catch while the proprietor is putting the catfish on the scales the lil ol man tells the story bout how he had "doctored" his minnow and how it had really worked so well after being told that the fish was a new summer record for Ol Muddy the lil ol man turns to go still holding the minnow in that same small cup ..... the owner inquires as to what is happening the lil ol man says that he and his "buddy, Ron the minnow" are going home and perhaps go fishing tomorrow the bait shop guy says that surely the minnow was wounded pretty badly in the tussle with the big cat .... but nope replied the ol dude ... didn't hurt lil Ron *(he had named the minnow Ron by now as he had been steadily consuming the moon) a bit why ... he didn't even get any teeth scrapings from that ol catfish ... ol Ron .. he just latched onto the cheek of that big cat and wouldn't let go yep .. had him right by the cheek and I just pulled him in and ol Ron ... why he wouldn't let go ... so Ron and I are gonna go a fishing tomorrow IF btw we could have another quart of that good ol moon like we got this mornin ..... so ... guess I'm telling you that should I send you some Texas fish for you to use as bait on those Atlantic Seaboard BIG fish ... they prolley won't hurt your fish too much ..... LOL
