I don't want to hijack TJ's thread but why do sticklebacks get such a bad wrap. It's one of the best baits to fish with on my ponds. I assume the BCP are eating them without hooks in their backs.



I caught a scualpin while running a trap line once (had a trout poll along) and rigged it up on a 110 conibear. Had a rat in it the next day.

On the Brook stickle backs, I have poor luck with them when I use them for bait. But in North Dakota they seem to be very popular. A new pond I have been playing on have a LARGE population of brook sticle backs. and I am tempted to uae them for bait, and they will undoubtly be forage for the WE SMB RES an YP going in.
