Bones Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Got the boat out for some cats at . I had caught a sucker, so I thought that we were good to go. Was I wrong lol, after a couple hours of nothing we decided to go in and get some of Steve's cutbait. Ended up with 6, the biggest close to 20 lbs. Unfortunately my friend deleted all the pics off my camera except for the last one Thanks for your help Steve, we'll see you next week. That bait is killer, must be the special sauce lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Joe Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 WTG John nice looking cat there to bad that the other pics were deleted You didn't freeze that sucker that you caught did you? I've always found that if you freeze a fish that's going to be cut bait it does not work as well, don't know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found that if you freeze a fish that's going to be cut bait it does not work as well, don't know why I pack those frozen smelts & shrimp in a Ziploc or Tupperware covered in salt, toughens them up to take a hook nicely.

GREYHAWK Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Careful about those frozen smelt as bait. They may be illegal. Best to call local MNR. Talked to a MNR agent at Bass Pro - he is quite sure they are illegal, but suggested ruling maybe local: hence the advice to call your local office.

It's illegal to use LIVE smelt & alewife as bait, but not deadbaits. There are exceptions in some areas where any smelt at all is verboten, but in Niagara it's fine.
