We buy dog food in the can by the case for summer and winter fishing. When the fish start to stack up we try to lure the minners to structure where we have caught em. With the price of can dog food going up we have started using these mesh laundry bags with a draw string filled with dry dog food and a brick with black nylon string tied to the bag so we can pull it up and refill as needed. We haven't fished any of these bags of gold yet, just put em out last week. I will report on the success or failure of this tactic. But the can dog food is a maint stay in my boat.
