Long time reader, first time participant!  Had a great time.  It was fun to meet you all.  Everyone was welcoming and very friendly. Only got three bluegills and felt left out that I didn't catch a mudpuppy like everyone else seemed to! It was good to put a face with some of the names here on IFO.  Oh, and thanks for the fish!

Great thread. Only luck I've ever had (twice😞) was on a blue chrome jigging rap with a minnow head, and lost them at the hole. I've only tried Alum. Feel like I need to branch out and try somewhere else!!!!  My eyes are weary from studying the map and shoulders sore from drilling holes... but they always get rested up during the hours of lifting and dropping!😛😛  thanks again for the info.
