Quite often whenever somebody saw a fish in the tent that didn't bite, or missed a strike, a few minuets later a tip-up would go off.

Nothing huge, a couple 30"ers, but everyone came home pumped and I have tomorrow off. So instead of sending them to school like a responsible parent we're all heading back out with more anchovies. If the fish aren't biting so friggin' fast tomorrow I'll try and get some pictures

nice. I got almost 20 today on the rods, sure wish that second pig had bit but theres always next time. cant complain about a 45 incher I guess was also going to mention I used to salt my bait to harden it a bit but I now like old soft herring thats even been frozen a few times, they come off the hook easier and I also hook them very lightly so I dont have to drag my point through half an inch of fishmeat to get it out. again just what seems to work for me and every lake and every fish can be different so it pays to experiment
