But I did add a few drops of recharge juice once in a while. Also doctored my crawlers with it if they had been awhile without attention.
Quick question, do you tip the gulp with anything or just use it alone?
In the past, I have been known to add a 1" piece of crawler on the hook with a Gulp minnow on it. Caught some walleyes on that too.

All the cats I have kept on my last two trips have been spawned out. That's why they are in their active post spawn feedup program.
And, interestingly, instead of being full of shadlets like we might suspect, they are full of green midge larvae...whole stomachs full. And all the cats were healthy and had gobs of visceral (internal) fat. They ain't been starving like the walleyes. In previous weeks I have kept cats that had one or more whole crawdads in them. Kitties are just more efficient scroungers than their toothy neighbors.

Why. As close as you live to Willard you can go play there whenever you want. I can't. So neener neener.
Hope the LHBE sushi treats you well.
