Fishing that funny stuff that looks like Rice Krispies

Yup went to lake Washington today, so I figured I would put that funny looking Bio-Bait stuff to the test. The way I looked at it the Bio-Bait was going to be a back up for me in case I forgot the waxies. That is if it could pass the test. Well I had two holes so Bio-Bait gets the left hole for a 1/2 hr and waxies the right, then switch every half hour.
Results: Bio-Bait withstood the test I caught about 1/2 my fish on Bio-Bait, it didn't matter which hole. I caught about 45 sunnies, the biggest 9" was caught on Bio-Bait, but it was an even split or as close as you can divide 45 in half smile.gif Crappies were a different story all but one came on minnows the other on Bio-Bait. I did this test the last hour I fished (after the sunnie test). Only 6 fish were caught during this test all 9 to 10". Here the minnows caught the bigger ones, but it was nice to know I could get crappies on Bio-Bait. During both tests I only used the small Bio-Bait packet. Looking back maybe I should have used the large packet for the crappie test. Oh well there is always tomorrow. I did get one walleye to the ice during the crappie test but she broke off the 1lb line I was using right at the hole.
Sorry Dave the walleye came on a minnow.
Summery: This stuff really works and I will get more. A backup for now but who knows this old live bait guy may switch to all Bio-Bait one day.............Nah. grin.gif

Thanks for the great report!
I figure Bio-Bait will never replace live bait in my boat either!
But... it is sure good to have a bit of this stuff tucked away for the day when I do run out of live bait! Not good to be out of bait!
Bio-Bait also allows me to fish with "crayfish"... which I can not do in MN! I love that.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
