I once caught a nice bluegill on a rather large booger. You just never know!

T-bone,
Just nominated your post for 'post of the year'-and its early in 0/9!Good work!
You're not the inventor of a muskie buzz bait are you?
d pear-
Nope. I just invent things that I really need but can't buy anywhere. Some of it's good and some of it's crap. Glad you enjoyed the booger reference. Sometimes when the fish are just plain committing suicide (the days are rare) it's fun to see how suicidal they really are. I would never eat a booger myself but in that case, it must have looked like a copod to that 'gill. I sincerely hope you didn't spew coffee when you read that! I have, on occasion, tried some other stuff too. Another whole thread could be started just to find out everyone else's bizarre tactics.
Speaking of things that buzz, did you ever see a "buzz stick"? It was an ice fishing rod which had a battery in the handle and a button you could push to make the tip vibrate. I think it caught more fishermen than it caught fish. It was supposed to make your jig gyrate down there in the zone and drive the fish postal. From what I heard (I never took the bait and bought one) it would cause the sensation all the way to any depth above two feet below the hole. That just ain't near deep enough for where I fish.
Sorry guys, I know this started with pickled fish as bait. Didn't mean to detract from that............T
