I was eating some fettucini for dinner and wishing i was on the lake. Then i started thinking about eating fettucini on the boat at the lake while fishing. Then i thought about the noodles themselves. A fettucini noodle Has a good wide shape and as far as food goes, i think would make a good worm substitute. Much better than a spaghetti noodle, they are too small in diameter. Then i started really thnking about other foods that might work as lures. Gummy worms of course came to mind, along with twizzlers.

Any others you can think of?

Swedish fish as a soft jerkbait?

It has been done. And it caught me a wittle trout.

According to Bill Engvall, dork-fish love corn-dogs.

me and a couple friends had a sunfish catching contest. I won with 41 in 1 hour and all my other friends averaged between 20-36.....all using american cheese on tiny hooks. so easy

I used ABC gum once to catch a crawfish which in turn caught me a small mouth......

Then there's the usual corn and bread balls for carp

That brings back memories. What we did as well. Cheese and bread worked so well.... My mom never did figure out I was feeding the bluegills my lunch. LOL.

There's an old guy who fishes at my local pond almost every day. All he brings with him is a folding chair, a loaf of bread, and a couple cheap spincast combos - one with a tiny treble hook and the other with a larger single hook. He balls up the bread on the treble hook and uses it to catch bluegill which he then uses to catch bass.

It works pretty well because once the 'gills start swarming around the bread hook, the larger bass wait just outside the swarm to pick them off.

I used to catch bluegill all the time by putting a little gum on the hook.

For sunfish and other panfish, you can take cheez-its and put the hook through the hook in the hole on the center of the cracker. Caught a 6" bluegill on that rig with a bobber.

Catfish like hotdogs.

Also if you want to make a home-made bait ball for the kittys, take a can of refried beans and jam a bunch of holes in it using a screwdriver. Then toss it out into the water. However that's illegal. So do it at your own risk.

So you throw the can out and cast near it or what?

I want to try this.

Also, hot dogs work extremely well.

Dog food works also but heres how you get around the can and legal part cuz chumming is legal its that metal can that makes it illegal. Take your dog food or beans or what ever you wanna use and get a mesh net you see potatoes and fruit come in. Put it in the bag then tie the bag off good maybe add a rock to it for weight tie yourself like 20-50ft of parachute cord or rope to it and toss it out there. Give it a tug here and there to kinda puff some scent out and when finished bring it back in and refill for your next trip.

Want to catch a bream or Bluegill every cast?

Take boiled crawfish and put a little of the meat on your long shank gold hook under a bobber.

A fish on every cast!!!!!

We used to make catfish bait out of hamburger, wheaties, and limburger cheese.

Slingshot + dog food = carp catching marathon

We used to catch the hell out of bullheads at night with ....
