What's everyone's opinion on recycling big gizzards when moving spots? Yay or nay? I personally haven't been.

Depends how they look. Depends on easy big bait Is and how much I have. When it's cool, and if they are not getting red noses and losing scales they are very likely to go back in the tank and hooked up again in another spot as Lon as they are feisty when they go back later. Sometimes the temp difference in the tank will do them in though.

Yep when I live baited, I would recycle a gizzard if it still looked clean. If it had a red nose, most times I tossed it. Every once in a while I would get some gizzards that were just tough, and would last on the hook a long while. I'd recycle the cruddy ones if I was running real short on bait, but that's the only time I'd bother.

That's basically what i was thinking. I have turned loose some that prolly would've been fine. But you know how it is when you take that risk and That bait dies then chain reaction. But sometimes it's hard to turn em loose so easy. When coming by em and throwin the ten footer is so hard !always nice to know what others think. Thanks guys!

This time of year..never. It wont be worth a flip. October to April..I do it when needed..mainly on huge shad that are harder to come by or ones that I've put stingers in that i'll keep til we move spots. Heck, I'll just throw them in buckets with the hooks still in them to move to a nearby creek. They're pretty tough in sub 60deg water.
