Great story JD. tanks, and please PM me your addy and shirt size.
When I moved hear to Missouri Back in Jan 2018 I took about two months getting settled in. In March I started my quest for some Crappie. I had been watching some video's of this fellow fishing the James River and Lake Springfield in a Belly Boat, and seeings how where he was fishing was just across town I figured if he could catch them, well why can't I. Well that just wasn't the case at all. I mean I tried everything he had been using, even got some live minnows, but still no luck. I mean not even a Nibble.
Well that's when I decided to try the Sauce. Of coarse it was the regular scent version, as I don't think the "G" sauce was released yet. Well the first time out I started catching some fish. There is a place right below the spill-over dam at lake Springfield that the fish bottle neck up at at certain times of the year. I fish from an area that's about 20' above the water and can see better. Well I was there and doing a pretty good job of catching a few regularly when they just shut off, like someone turned off the spigot.
Now there is some pretty good snags below the dam and I try not to snag all the time, so I use a float and try to keep it about 6-8' down. Well when the water is flowing over the dam you do a bit of chucking and winding. When the fish shut down, it wasn't log till I found out why. On several casts A big ole' toothy critter followed the exact path my jig had when reeled in. At the time I was dippin' my jig in the sauce about every 6 casts to make sure it was sauced up real good. Now that danged ole' gar was a following the scent trail of my jig, as when he /she would appear I had my jig cranked up to the rod and getting ready to cast again...
I started using Slab Sauce right then on a regular bases, And while I don't always catch fish for one reason or other, I am catching them on a more regular bases. There is only one reason you wont catch fish when using Slab Sauce that I have found, and that is "There ain't NO fish where you trying to catch them", as Slab sauce works on all species of fish that are in the water I fish, with the exception of Carp...Thank you Slab For a great product, and to everyone who was selected to test it out. IT IS GREAT!!!

BuckeyeCrappie, Since I put the shell over the bed of my truck, I keep three rods a lot of tackle and there is always slab sauce in the cab, as I never know when the opportunity may strike to wet a line. I am still trying to finish the redo on my boat. Kinda hard to do when it's raining, snowing or below 40 deg. and you have to work outside. we don't even have car ports in this trailer park...

LOL about that gar .....I like it when they're around....
@jamesdeen, never have used it before. I got some when I ordered some sweatshirts before Christmas but it needs to warm up before I will get to use it. I anticipate having similar successful results like other forum members and I am looking forward to trying it out.

The biggest thing to remember BuckeyeCrappie, It does work very well, but then so does others. And there must be fish present to catch them. Though it does work very well, it, like all the others won't bring the fish from across even a small lake. Good luck, and I pray you catch a bucket full. Tight line, and big smiles...
