I hope you find them.Walmart in our area usuall carries them. If you can't find them ,Im willing to send you a couple.

back in the seventies,my uncle was getting close to seventy dollars a hide for large unblemished hides.
Here in my part of Kentucky pepole call it funeral meat spread.People usually take sandwhiches of this on white bread to the families of the bereaved. It's a tradition during a wake of a loved one there are almost always some of these sandwhiches there.
it's a small creek,I can't tell you the body of water,but it in kentucky.There are bull head catfish,smallmouth bass,green sun fish,red eye rockbass,chub minnows, black sucker minnows,molly hog suckers,red horse suckers,common carp,mud turtles,soft shell turtles.silver side minnows and bluegills.
We throwed him back in .Need to keep the breeders alive.That hole of water is very special to me . I've been fishing there for 45 years.There are a lot bigger ones in there.We mostly fish for Smallmouth bass there.The Smallmouth fishing is pretty good too.We don't keep any fish.There's consumption bans because of pollution from coal minnig.The fishing is getting better.Maybe the pollution is tapering down.
I took my son on his first fishing trip of the year and he caught this nice Carp.It's the biggest thing he has ever caught.We had a great time.
Try a good Ole regular snap mouse trap.The old kind with the bait holder on it.Use a half cook piece of bacon to bait the trap.Use sewing thread and tie a small piece of the half cooked bacon on the bait holder,the thread keeps them from stealing the bait.just a couple tight wraps finished with a square knot snip loose ends will be enough.Set traps along walls.mice and rat mostly travel around the edges of the wall their eyesight is not very good.They use their whiskers to feel the wall edge.Their sense of smell is their primary sense.You can also add a smear of peanut butter to make it more attractive to them. This will the most trap shy mice.It also works on rats when used on rat traps.Good luck.it may take a few days for them to find it. This works better than 90% of the time.
my grandma loved to fish for bluegills and red eye rock bass.she would use coats black sewing thread wrapped around her finger several times with a #6 hook on the business end.She would out fish us grand children using store bought poles.She was brought up very poor and she spent several years in the poor house.That was an actual place in the 20s and 30s were children were sent when their parents couldn't afford to raise them because of the depression ,because of no work.
A friend of mine fishes alot in lake okachobee in the spring ,his father in law lives there.They usually go there in march,he says they have alot of days there with 2lb or better crappie average.That sounds really good to me.JR says the crappie are the best kept secret of fishing in Florida.
