Title: Re: Bait size

size matters!

so does Gulp.  Discussion?  I like Gulp 3-4" minnows or grubs all the time.  Have taken a liking the last 3 years to the Gulp leech and juice.  But I gotta come up with a better transport vehicle.  I love live leeches too, but can't justify the hassle of 'em.

I think if you're talking 'eyes or pike, bigger is usually better.  Crappies n gills can be a different story but they're not common BW/Q fodder.  Smallies?  Seems you just have to piss 'em off.

Trout?  Don't know but I'd bet bigger may be better.  Ice fishing a few years back in Crownland near the Q....we could see our prey, small 2-3 lb Lakers under the ice.  Couldn't entice a strike.  Went for the smallest salted minnows we could find and had success.
