Predatory Mood Swings

Interesting article Graham, I found the last part about the shredded bait made me recall pike fishing when I was a youngster. My friends and I fished a canal for the entire day with only half a dozen herring fillets, we cut the bait into 2" strips and placed it on size 1/0 sea hooks attached to a silver spinning trace fished under a perch float. We all caught several pike each session. It's strange that now I, along with just about everyone I know now attaches half a mackerel or whole herring or trout as their first choice bait. ;-}~

Sorry about this I think this is the second time I've posted to the sea fishing group by mistake.
