Well all in all it was a short fishing trip yesterday. With the wind howling and not getting to the lake until 1pm my time spent actually haveing a line in the water was only about 1 hr. In that one hour time we managed to put one nice gill and a couple good crappies in the kayak, along with a dozen or so other bites and a couple that came off after hook up. I had the liquid minnow on both our baits and they produced fish. I didn't try any without the liquid minnow so I can not say that it was the determining factor in catching fish, but I can say for sure that it did not seem to bother the fish.
