Hotdog bait

We used to catch snapping turtles on them. I think we caught bass by accident a time or two.

The gf catches catfish on em.

I've caught fish on a plain arbereden (gold crappie) hook jigged off the dock, a hook with a piece of shiny gum wrapper on it (MacGyver style), and many times on a plain hook with a 4" piece of bank grass rigged to look like a grass hopper.

Got to get creative.

I've baited trot lines, yo-yo's and jugs with them, and had good success. I buy the cheapest ones I can find, slice them up, and put them in a ziploc with some minced garlic. Let that "cure" in the sun a little while, then it's ready for a hook.

Same here.......no garlic though.

a bag of hotdogs out in the sun for 1-2 days kills the gar and the catfish on jug lines.

caught a couple of goo one time on Vienna sausage.

we used to catch bream with hotdogs. usually works great
