Thoughts on the Brave New World of bait

[wahoo]

Try Cigar Minnows--you can get them at Asian Fish Markets. I am on my way to MN to fish and have Mackarel, Cigars, Sardines, and Mullet---I'll be giving them all a good soak.

anybody use the preserved prepackaged shad you can get from GM?? about 12 bucks a pound. Wanting to get a little feed back before i head out pike fishing tomorrow, so far have had zero luck with sucker minnows live or dead. Otherwise I'm around rochester area if someone has a better idea would be greatly appreciated.
