Hi Lou Just want to thank you for letting me join your group. I last fished Lake Ontario out of Burlington back in 1975 so Im out of touch .I`m presently in British Columbia fishing interior lakes and the salt chuck. . I fish from a 30 foot sloop as base camp and troll or mooch from a dinghy for trout and salmon. My favoutie Bait is plug cut herring or minnows running behind a cowbell lure or a doger. I home build most of my lure so I Have some questions which I will post in the appropriate forum.

As I mentioned in my introduction my favorite bait is cut plug herring. supplies in the salt chuck are abundant you simply make a dropline of multiple yellow flie and dropit overboard when the timing is right for the size you want and jig your supply of herring. However minnows are less easy to come by . I would like to find a source of bait scented soft plastic minnows suitable for plug cutting as bait > have searched the web for such a soft bait but have founf nothing ,Can anyone point me to a source. The key to a plug cut is a double obique cut just aft of the gill plate and the removal ofthe guts to leave a hollow body
