Having a few pulls on what we called "River Mix" ( a "slurpy" or "slush" with a little extra added for medicinal purposes, not when shotguns were about of course.)

We used "pickeral rigs" with a worm or a small dead frog for bait. And you never knew what was going to be on the end of a pulsating fishing pole.
