Hey Jim B I haven't been able to get into nice size shell crackers in quite some time (years) , I met a guy at the ramp my second day at WB, he said they were after them but they came back with no keepers he added the few they caught were diseased..... I replyed REALLY???
He said yup they had their tails too close to their head disease
At least we know its cureable..... 2-3 minnows per day for 12 months should do it
