I have a small place on the Malad river where I can go and catch bait. Always good for a carp or lately, suckers. I don't know if any of you have experienced this, but my catch rates have been much better with sucker meat than with carp. I have fished them side by side and the sucker meat has outfished the carp every time. The last 2 suckers had egg sacks in them, so I saved them and tried fishing with them on the lower Bear yesterday with great success. Caught 4 of the 5 cats on the eggs with the biggest at 25.5". So just a thought to try when cutting up those fish for bait. All my big cats so far this year have been on sucker meat.
