Get a 50 pound sack of all grain with molasses. Rip it and sink it!

Will do thanks

The dog food works for bream..........if you have trouble finding 'em.

I used to try putting minnows in a big fruit jar, put holes in lid, tie to a rope, and hang it over the side where I was fishing. Never could say it worked, though. I heard it did on some internet site, so I tried it. :biggrin

Minnows in a fruit jar. That's funny! I wonder what the fish were thinking...

It's not the crappie seeing the minnows in the jar that attracts the fish. A crappies sense of smell is 100x that of a blood hound. The fish not only smell the minnows through the holes in the lid, the minnows run into the sides of the jar causing a ticking sound that is the dinner bell for a hungry crappie. I actually did this one time and noticed the line with the gallon jar going crazy. I pulled it up and a bass had swallowed the gallon glass jug halfway down. Of course, with the jar being slick, he came right off. I would have had a shot at landing him if I woulda let him swallow the jug a couple inches deeper.

i have never dun this but seen it dun 50lb burlap bag of rice throne out seen it dun at santee caught crappie and cats off it
