pulled the minnows out of the freezer from last winter, checked out the freezer burnt and flaking bait and thought what the heck either try it or stay inside, sure enough the year old bait worked like a dream. The next day i picked up some fresh bait from the corner store and tried it. The luck not the same until i switched back to the old faithful freezer burnt bait. Goes to show ya pike arent picky i guess!!
