Hey thanks Jr. I'm touched. But I'm still going to follow your Dad up the 'Sop this Sunday (or 'Nooch, if the rained up west fork muddies it 'Soppy'), and we're going to cork and low-hole him most of the day. Nah, he knows where the fishies are so we'll be nice. Are you coming over this weekend?

As for Prep H ... Butt Wax Rules! It actually does help the springers bite on some days. I first discovered it by putting a small amount on Warts (hey! don't go there - talkin Wiggle Warts) and catching fish; because it smelled good and fishy to me, and it has some of the chems in it that 'nooks like. Jerry said there was several days in Col. springer hoglines last year where the b-wax really did outfish the other boats. Most guys thought I was kidding when I posted that on ifish a couple years ago. ...

Here's another thing I posted that could have been taken in jest - clear Caro Corn Syrup put on plugs and other lures sometimes helps catch steelies and 'nooks. They do often have a 'sweet tooth' mood. In addition to the sugar, corn syrup has strained clear corn juice, vanilla, and salt - all things the fish like. And it sticks on for awhile. Try it. Hey, try them together!
