I want it clearly understood that the big die-off was not a result of them laughing at me. I scared them to death, and squashed a few of them by hitting them with a closed net! I had it mastered pretty good last year, even caught a trolling motor at Soldier Creek. I will need to watch the casting video again before going out again, and practice a few casts on my front lawn (you should see the funny looks from neighbors when they see me throwing a casting net on my lawn -- a very ineffective way to catch nightcrawlers) before going out again this year. After paying $1.99 a small bag of shiner minnows, day before yesterday at Sportsman's, I need to get out there sooner rather than later to get a fresh supply of minnows.
