Nice looking fish Dwayne, the fall in my area is good for a mixed bag like you caught today. I like the variety, it makes your next bite interesting!

Thanks Guys. I was a great day. The cat put up a good fight on UL rod and 4lb line. Was using my cheap hot dog bait.

Alright - now you got me interested. You said "your" hotdog bait, like you have some super secret recipe. You know you have to share it with your BBG brothers, right?

David, bait is no big secret. All I do is cut hotdogs into wax worm size. sprinkle them with colored sugar and garlic salt or garlic powder. Then put them in frig a couple days, before I go fishing. I make up about a dozen or so containers, freeze them, so I always have some type of bait. I can fish all summer, for less than five bucks. I am a tightwad. KfC has some great bait containers, the ones the put slaw or potatoes in.

If you want them to stay on hook better. Mirowave them a few seconds.
