Don't knock hot dogs as bait until you try it. My "picnic baits" (hot dogs
and frozen corn) accounted for about 40 fish last year over 8 pounds. Carp
have a sweet tooth and cats love meat; both feed by smell.

Are the hot dogs for you or the fish?? (chuckle)


I like using plain old hot dogs cut about 1/4 inch thick. Others
locally
like to use panfish fillets rolled with the meat outside, to good
result.
