Try small cutup pieces of a hot dog. They work for just about everything. Learned that trick camping with my brother back in the early 60's.
I've tried dogs for cats, with no success...I mainly caught snapping turtles lol. I'll have to try it for bluegills.
I microwave the cut up hot dogs, makes them a little tougher and stay on the hook better, 30 seconds
The slimJims worked great because of the tough skin of them, and then give them a little pinch and watch the grease ooze out...but then there's the fact that slimJims taste great so I hate to give it to a fish lol.
Cut hot dogs up into small pieces....put in a tupperware container and stir in a small jar of minced garlic and a pack of strawberry cool aid....put cover on container and put in refrigerator...next day go fish with it
Small can of Del Monte whole yellow kernel corn. Lot of bites for the buck.
Ive heard thats a go to carp bait.Quote:
