I've not tried live bait. I've got gizzard shad as big as your hand in both ponds. There is enough forage to support growing big bass. I'll try live bait to see.
My trapper thinks the craw fish are using the old muskrat holes. I've NEVER seen any of these craw fish outside a hole. They're big, and aggressive. I'll post pictures probably tomorrow....you can tell me what type they are.
