To update, the fishing trip got cancelled due to something coming up that had to be dealt with. The trip didn't get cancelled but rather postponed to some weekend in the fall, I guess.
I did get to do some fishing at heart river dam today though. Lots of pike action. No giants; the biggest was just over 70 cm (about 28 inches) and the rest all under 55 cm. Was fun.
I will update this thread once I do what I set to do when I created it
Jpaul74, i did stop at Co-op gas bar and they did not have any maggots. So I am still looking.
dodger, I am not a fan of Gulp stuff, but that was what I was going to go with before the change of plans.
Thanks to all!
