 :) Haven't fished for them for years  :) My friend lived right where Fishing Creek dumped into the Susquehanna. We would go down there in early spring, build a fire on the bank and fish for them in the evening and early night.  :) We gave them to some guy who lived up the street from him and carp also. This guy made fish cakes out of everything  ::) Don't laugh we tried them and they were good.  ;D ;D ;D

Not a sucker eater.. I do know that in the Spring their flesh is sweet... I used them for the Mrs Rose bushes...OF course my neighbor who took me to this feeder stream just off RT 34 in Carlisle. He ate them and gave me a taste, He'd havea big burlap bag filled with our harvest!  It was a road that ran along the Conodoguinet Creek  that crosses right at RT 34.. I know God didn't change things in all those years and the small feeder stream is still there.. Just waiting for some serious gigging with a Coleman lantern with a aluminum reflector to shoot out into the water in front of you.. Um maybe like I said before one of those cheap white head lights would be just right too... Maybe?


My mom use to say I acted up like a little indian !!!  This is the one thing that made me feel like a Native American!  Just the power in that gig handle once you make contact with a sucker. People who have done this know what I'm talking about!

Use to gig suckers all the time when I was a kid.  Also used the coleman lantern.  We would put tinfoil on the back half of the globe so all the light would shine forward.  No lie, we would sometimes gig 100 an evening.  We would slice through the air bladder and throw them on the bank.  When we were done we would collect them on stringers and take them to my dads friends house in perry county.  His name was "Pork" and he would feed them to his hogs.  Well that seems to be a thing of the past.  There are no longer any big sucker runs up the streams to spawn.  I always wondered what happened to them.
