Sounds almost exactly like our results from there yesterday....We saved a little money on the herring , only getting four doz....we trolled, checking our baits every so often....We had at least a dozen fish follow us up during bait checks.....One nice rainbow shredded our herring while avoiding the hook and a few fish did the usual, smack the bait to kill it but didi not go back in for the meal....Any day now, that place will blow up with action....Your ten dozen will come in handy within the next week er so....Good luck out there
