[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 169872, member: 1485"] Back in MN, grandpa used to always run a red-and-white decoy alongside a decoy sucker minnow. I know in ND suckers are a no-no, but I wouldn't doubt that a dead smelt threaded on a line and just laying on the bottom wouldn't work great. If you think about how many pike are on forage mode in the winter, they're more than willing to pick up a stinky, greasy dead bait off the bottom. If the decoy didn't bring them in, the oil slick from the smelt sure would. Or at least, it would keep them cued in a bit longer if they're hesitate to the decoy. [/QUOTE]
