jasonking+FollowHot dogs as bait? This guy's a genius! 🌭Been struggling at my local lake until this old timer shared his secret - hot dogs on a bobber! Sounds crazy but hear me out. He explained thick braid is too visible underwater, and hot dogs work amazing for smaller fish that reveal what's actually living there. Plus you can slice them thin and quarter them for perfect bite-sized pieces. His real trick? Using a weightless rig to map the underwater structure by feeling elevation changes through your rod tip. Dude's been mapping our entire lake this way all summer! Sometimes the simplest baits work best when you're just trying to figure out what's down there. Ever tried unconventional grocery store baits that actually worked? #fishing #hotdogbait #lakefishing #fishingbait #bassfishing #outdoors6734Share
fisherchad+FollowDollar store hot dogs are catfish CRACK! 🌭I never thought I’d be marinating hotdogs for bait, but here we are. One summer, I grabbed a pack of dollar store dogs, tossed them in a bag with cherry Kool-Aid and garlic powder, and hit the river with my kids. By the time we cast out, those bright red chunks smelled like pure catfish candy. The channels couldn’t resist—cheap, messy, and surprisingly effective. The only downside? Red-stained fingers and trying not to think about what’s in that hotdog juice. Ever tried swapping “real” bait for something from the pantry? #fishing #catfishing #hotdogbait5815Share
