like the last post.3 cans of the cheapest dog food you can buy.take a screwdriver and stab into the side 10 or 12 times and bend down to make a tab or ledge.tie into a tree onn three sides so you will have shade at any time or room for a friend.leave for a couple of days.i always paint the cans green or brown to camo and tie inside the limbs to camo.come back a couple days later and you have a good baited hole.good to do it near deep water for access to good size fish.works pretty good and it is legal in my state to bait fish so the dnr says.
