<p>Right on! I was speaking for myself in that I feed the fish very well and then I find myself hungry - most times with nothing to eat but what I have in the bait box...</p>
<p>I should prep myself some of this good stuff this year too.</p>

<p>A recurring theme lately is the shore side meal. It seems everything I read mentions it, probably because the things I read are not focused on water-ripping, rocket powered boat bassin'....</p>
<p>I confess that fishing food (as opposed to "fish food") has always been a sandwich or something like that, unless I'm camping. I just don't want to be bothered toting the equipment needed to cook a meal on the bank. I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to extraneous gear, anyway.</p>

<p>It also matters that I am not normally going to be fishing, sun-up to dusk, time enough to cook a meal. 3-4 hours or so, and then I'm usually off to do something else.</p>
<p>Maybe this year some of that will change, I don't know. Grilled hot dogs are always good in my opinion, and like Johnny, I reckon they are as good in ME as the fish.

<p>Through this whole discussion of hotdogs and corn, I have to think back about how I fish and I keep coming up with this thought:</p>
<p>I feed the fish better than I feed myself when fishing. One of these times out - try worms and fix yourself some grilled hotdogs with a side of buttery garlic corn and some cold Koolaid so that you eat better than the fish...</p>
<p>The answer to hotdogs or corn is c., none of the above (feed the fish fish food).</p>

I read about a fella who swears by chicken livers, too. Fished on bottom with a slider rig, much like when catfishing, he swears the bull 'gills will run off any piddlers that try to get that liver.

<p>I don't cook them and use a slant cut and double hook the hotdog piece .Stays on hook well for casting .Have caught Bullheads from 6-14 inches and Channels 24-29 inches . 29" Channel cat is 10 lbs and Hotdog pieces or Chicken liver /Hot Dog piece combo works great! If you use the chicken liver ,put that on first and then block it on the hook with the slanted hot dog double hooked piece so it stays on .The blood from the livers is quite an attracter I believe and the scent of the hot dog…</p>

<p>If you do cook the hot dog just do it in a micro wave for a little bit to toughen the skin.I'd rather not do this but some guys do and have sucess.

<p>While waiting for my taxes today I read of a catfish bait:</p>
<p>1 pack of cheap chicken hot dogs, cut into 1" pieces</p>
<p>Two packs of strawberry Kool-Aid, unsweetened</p>
<p>2 cloves of garlic</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Place items in a ziplock bag or jar with enough water to cover. Let marinate for as long as desired.</p>
<p>This could be used for brim, certainly and might benefit from 20 seconds of microwaving</p>
