mmmmm....sounds tasty! those suckers are strong smelling to begin with can't imagine anything but acetone will take the smell off your hands after a good disemboweling. Good tip though.

Hi guys, nice to be here on the forum. I fish the Racine pool and was wondering if anyone knows if and when this spring the big skipjacks will move into the warm water discharges of the power plants around here? Really want to stock up on some jacks for flatheads this season. Anybody catch 'em at the discharges instead of the dam in the spring?... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Someone who offers them for sale would have a thriving buisness around here.

Not sure about that to be honest, but you can get a bait dealers license.

Yes you need a bait dealers license. If you start moving live fish then you need a transport license too I am pretty sure.

a local bait shop(fishermans quarters in dayton) is now carrying a Saltwater Herring that apparently is a lot better than shad or skips from the reports i have been hearing. stopped in there yesterday and decided to buy a pack to try this weekend. they are sold in frozen packages and are supposed to be extremely oily. below is a link to the pics of the fish in the flats (the blue label herring) from the company where they get them from.

the fish and blue label packages are a lot bigger than what they look in the pic. the fish i got were like BIG chubs and are from 8-10 inches long, the flats are about 18-20 inches wide and are $8.99 per flat.

i have a small deep freezer i keep loaded with Shad but am giving these a shot to see how good they work.

You know, I think Jungle Jims carries saltwater herring also. I'll have to pick one up and try it, if its the same fish.

They are very hard to keep alive...but you still need to have a bait permit to sell them dead or alive...not worth selling them and not having one. We got checked twice last year by the DNR, but we have all of our licenses so it was fine. Not worth the hefty fine and loosing all your fishing gear for not going about it the right way.

Skip jack are a great bait if you are fishing where they come from. But if your not your better off to use something that is native to the waters your fishing. Like shad or suskers or even blue gill. On the monogahela in W.V. there are no skip jack and some locals say small trout will out fish skip jack every time. So use what is avalible normaly to the fish in your area and you'll do better.
