Rojo, this has been the first year on tide controlled waters I have come home without crappie in a long time. You and I are the same age and fish the same waters. But I am just a ole country boy that has worked assisting many engineers in my time to say this.
I generally use the common sense approach to everything.
So a guy that owns minnow ponds taught me a trick years ago with minnows. Add about a teaspoon of salt to your minnows it will keep them alive longer and they will be much more active. Ok great advice it works 100% of the time. But me being me I tried less and noticed they didn’t stay as active. Then I tried more and here’s where it got interesting. Two teaspoons they got sluggish. Three teaspoons they didn’t move around hardly at all. Of course we are talking minnows. So I am thinking the same occurs with our freshwater fish. I will leave the true answer to smarter guys than me.
Oh another thing the minnow guy taught me years ago, when cleaning a minnow bucket or container you keep your minnows in wash and clean it with pure table salt. It will clean it and it will remove slime or even where you have had minnows die on you. Since doing this I rarely have a dead minnow when using them. Of course I always put a frozen water bottle in mine to in the heat of the summer.
Rojo, stay on them absolutely enjoy your posts.

Skunk Prevention Fish from today.



I think the first is the smallest Choctaw Bass ever. Choctaws are a sub species from Mobile River to Pearl River. I need to find the article about them and post it up here somewhere.
