In the spring and fall we smoke the HSB on rattle traps, zara spooks, and flukes... in the summer we smoke them on chicken liver and cut bait or lowlight or no light they hit aggressive baits as well.... we catch them alot because we fish for them on their terms, not ours... thats the key... HSB have unbelievable sight and overall senses of smell and feel. They become smart quick.
one thing is surely true though, if they are hungry they will feed more on your terms than when they are full...
We love eating them.... we eat about 500 of them every year. They are by far our favorite freshwater fish to eat... Some of you may recognize these ladies:
