First I am not God's gift to Gill fishing. The Trout Magnet has worked very well for me. I have had so many days of catching well over a hundred I have lost count....heck have probably had days where I caught several hundred. The point is we all use what works for us. Headhunter I am glad you have and are having great success with crickets.....I fished crickets for years and had success with them also. When you have posted your reports I have commented in the positive. I also have many days of catching 100 trout with the TM....and needless to say crappie. I don't think I ever asked you to even try a Trout Magnet. There are thousands and thousands of satisfied TM users. If it don't work for you don't use it....I'm not going to fish with something that doesn't work....so I don't understand the negativity you have about the people who have success with a lure. Forums...IMHO...are knowledge libraries. This forum is one of the best around for that. Now I will finish what I wanted to say about my visit with TK that I didn't say this morning as I was in a hurry to get to Pickwick. TK is a multi specie guy. He has a great knowledge base about.....bass....trout....walleye....Gills....cra ppie and I am sure other specie as well. That was the first time I had really talked fishing with him and I was thinking that he was only a Striper guy....man was I wrong. I saw what I guess to be an 16 foot jigging rod for crappie in his building....two Hawger Poles. He showed me a custom made musky rod...and he loves the Gills. It is a knowledge base I hope to tap into more. TK and wife are going to start fishing for walleyes and Gills next week...I wish them luck. Oh...his wife can talk fishing with the best of us too.....LOL.
