Guide's tip of the week

[Thompson Fishing Guide Service]

Tired of the SLIME and mineral deposits on your boat? Tired of paying megabucks for juice to clean it off? Use white vinegar. You don't have to worry about your gelcoat and it takes everything off.

Here's a bonus tip for keeping your bait (or your catch) alive: use salt. I was having a financial hemorrhage over buying minnows constantly and watching them grow the white fur. Then I saw an article abut salt. Use 1 cup of salt to 10 gallons of water...not sure of all of the biology behind it, but it works. They live and they have no white fur. Iodized salt works, but I have been told non-iodized is better (plus your wife won't squeak at you for emptying the house of table salt). I bought all of the expensive stuff at BassPro, but none of it has worked. Try this. Put it in your livewell in bass tournaments and it will keep your fish alive.

Thanks for the tips. Also thanks for the fishing reports, I'm taking the 2nd week of October off and may make it up there for some fishing.
