Bill, found your post. Thanks.
Pedro, I haven't tried a trotline since last year. Turtles helped themselves to the fish and I started helping myself to the turtles. Good idea.
Bill, good idea on the gizzards. I just might try them. Dang things are too chewy to eat.
Of interest is that I tried for years to come up with the worlds best catfish bait. My daughters kept the grandchildren away from what they called my alchemy lab. They said nasty things about possible mutations and future sterility. A neighbor tried to borrow some to neuter his bull calves. I think other neighbors put him up to it. Mostly jealousy, I'm sure.
