Mama and I went to BPS today and I finally broke down and bought a bucket of Gulp Alive 21/2" Minnows in the Black Shad. I will try them this week. The little minnows are pretty neat they are a good size. If they don't work, it won't be the first time I blew $19.95 for something. Does anyone know if you can soak other grubs in the "sauce" without contaminating it? I also bought a WM Ms Crappie 10' under the pretext it was for Mama. Actually I liked the color of the tip(Pink), it is easy to see.
