Makes sense I can see your point I've been hunting in nh for 30 yrs couldn't imagine not being able to hunt on Sunday especially when you have to work mon thru friday.

Agreed, I’m glad I can still take advantage of Sunday hunting. Lived in NH for 31 of my 34 years

Oatmeal huh? I already got some in the pantry hope Lakers like Maple brown sugar.
I foul hooked a yellow perch in the eye while fishing a small pond in the summer and the eye came with the hook. I caught more fish on that eye then any other bait or lure

The majority of those squirting a few about lack of serious responses in Ice reports will also be buying fish food as they hide in the shadows and hate LmAo it’s a vicious circle. Can’t get off the teet it’s just to easy this way to have others figure it out.

I expect to see more than a few scruffy confused looking dudes staring at fish food at the grocery store after you let that one go lol

Guy who works at a hatchery told me tuna works well.  He also said to soak lures in it for a few minutes.  Tried that with some trolling lures, didn't do a damn thing, but sounds good in theory.

I’ve always liked doing it to whatever extend I can. Anytime I have live cutting suckers I always break them down in close proximity to some holes. I particularly like to prime a Laker hole by simply rinsing my blade off in the water water as I scale the sucker.  Even biggish shiners yeild a lot of scales when you run a blade against them end to end. Plenty of visual cascading down and catching light. Scent. Without giving anything a free dinner. I’ll dump some bits too, but usually try to cut it real small. Save guts and bigger messes for Cusk holes when I’m walking away for the night.

Alright, because I like you guys I will tell you what i like to do.  I buy smelt at the grocery store and put them through the blender.  Occasionally, I have mixed sea salt and garlic to experiment as well as Anise. Now all I'm saying is DON'T USE YOUR WIFE'S NEW NINJA BLENDER.  Use her old blender, just trust me on this one.....  You get all the attractant with giving them a free meal.  Keep a little on the side to dip your lure in it too.

It took me so long to put together why the Anise/licorice flavor thing is so big across so many species - it smells just like a FRESH bait slick. Yep, took me about 30 years of fishing before my nose caught that.

Gotta stop drinking while on IS, giving away too many tricks of the trade.  Might have to go back to the ice check threads.

So do you drop some black licorice whips or jelly beans in that blender? Or do you reach for the Star Anise seed itself?

Sambuca tastes like anise. Pernod. A host of other cordials. Perhaps that should be my new choice in ice cocktail.

Never understood y you can't hunt on sundays either its maine I figured a law like that would be a mass law.

Many states have "No hunting" on Sundays.

Here in MA I get to enjoy the sounds of hunters honing their skills at local shooting ranges near where I fish.
It's one of those sounds I look forward to hear, mainly because it reminds me of people exercising their rights to bear arms!
(OH, and it tends to mean they will be better, safer hunters in the end.)

Yesterday, I noticed a definite uptick in strikes after I threw the leftover milk from my thermos (for my coffee) in the hole where my deadstick was - - I caught four pickerel in relatively short order out of that hole (which had not had a strike for at least the past hour) before the milk dissipated and the water in the hole cleared up again.
