Comment by John Sheehan on October 4, 2015 at 7:36am: Do you use a blood Knot and attach to mainline mono Jim ? Thanks for the idea.

Comment by Jim Gronaw on October 3, 2015 at 6:28pm: John...I have done well using 30 pound green braid for pickerel leaders at Deep Creek Lake. Stren Super braid or Gamma will do you well.

Comment by John Sheehan on October 3, 2015 at 8:20am: I need to find some light gauge wire leaders or make some up out of used guitar strings or something. I got an 1/8th oz. Little Cleo spoon cut off by a Pickerel last week. I catch Pickerel on 1/6th oz. and lighter spoons but the wire leaders I have are heavier gauge than I need for this light process . Any one know a good source for leaders that would work for light spoons?

Comment by John Sheehan on October 2, 2015 at 11:24am: Coming into Pickerel time .Heres one from the other day . I lost a little Cleo 1/8 oz. spoon to what had to be a Pickerel .Sliced the line .I need to come up with very light wire leaders .Any SUGGESTIONS?

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 20, 2015 at 4:32pm: Actually, a tangy sweet fish pickle in that dressing sounds good.

Comment by David, aka, "McScruff" on January 20, 2015 at 4:31pm: Something like that, John.
I think the fish was pickled separately. The fish was then mixed with the dressing... Kinda like we might do with canned tuna.

Comment by John Sheehan on January 20, 2015 at 3:29pm: Pickerel in sour cream/mayo and spice .Hmmm ?!

Comment by John Sheehan on January 20, 2015 at 3:28pm: David, I'd like to know how the Germans do their pickling .

Comment by John Sheehan on January 20, 2015 at 3:26pm: Would love to get into a 15 lb Pike!

Comment by John Sheehan on January 20, 2015 at 3:25pm: So the pickling dissipates the bones Jim? BTW ,welcome to this group ,wish Chris ,the guy who started it would come back so I can see how things are going on by him.
