Elnut, this doesn't have anything to do with your thread but I am planning on traveling to Dale this winter sometime but will only be able to go for a couple of days and I'd like to go the live bait route. Do you have any suggestions on where to buy bait in dead of winter down there? Also, I don't frequent the board a whole lot but I have kept up with your medical issues on here and have sent up several prayers for you and your family. It's great to hear your excitement for fishing this winter and I hope your doing better now.
