Dave, I think you mean connoisseur. Ice fishing the corner sewer means something totally different to us guys born and raised in Worcester. I kid you not though, Flaptail once told me which was the prefered sewer cover to fish from near the hatchery spillway. He had fished them both, maybe with you.

Nice stuff VB. I saw one time at an antique tackle show, a type of ice fishing trap where a minnow was impaled on a barb under a spring loaded multi-pronged mechanism. When the fish bit the minnow the spring mechanism released and impaled the fish. Very creative, although I'm not sure how well it worked. I susupect it probably made catch-and release a little tough though.
