Yes, don't worry BGM. The test wasn't carried out as planned: I went to lookout, but then after about half an hour, (no bites on either) I called up a friend and we went to langford. I abandoned bait fishing, although my trolling setup was a gang troll with a pink wedding band and a large night crawler. Got a ton of bites and played many fish, but only boated one. The fish were not biting hard, even the one I landed was barely hooked through the lip.
And I already knew about pumping up worms, just never tried it.
