Bruce, sorry I had missed your post. Absolutely link it.

Beginning to have success in getting them to eat the sinking pellets. They sure do love the cut worms though. What I love is I have a homemade spot light that aims at the side of the tote. When I turn it on its like ringing the dinner bell. They are up at the top waiting on supper!! No fear of me now. I have lost 3 smallmouths so far, no largemouths. All 3 of the smallies measured just over 3". I'm sure I am not saving any money at this but it sure is fun!!
