Well I am not a big fan of cut bait fishing but I was forced into that method this am. I have a Vest 40gal Super Bait tank and never ever loose any bait. Well I stopped by this am and picked up 3 doz BB’s at my regular bait stop and while I did not add the bait saver(bottle was empty) I did add my rock salt and them temp was fine. Well I got to my predetermined spot well before daylight and dropped anchor(which I ended up loosing to the trees). Well when I opened up my tank to bait my first hook I was shocked to see all 3 doz laying in a pile on the bottom of the tank:frowning_face:
. Nothing to do at this point other than to fish cut bait( I call it catfishing).
I have never had this problem before and could not figure out what happened. On the way home I called my fishing partner and while we were discussing it I dawned on me that I may have not replaced the fiber in the filter system when I cleaned my tank. I always do this so it is ready to go the next time. When I got home my thought was correct.
This is the only explination I can come up with, other than I should have been in Church instead of fishing this am(3 doz dead BB’s and a lost anchor)
By the way I did end up with 3 nice catfish for supper though:sunglasses:

By the way I see your from Anderson and since you mentioned church I have to ask…have you ever been to New Spring…I visit Anderson some and always love going to New Spring…once thought about just driving up for the church on Sundays…of course the price of Gas in my Truck will never let that happen. Anyhow have a good one and better wishes next trip. God Bless,
