I work as a scale operator and guard and I talk to 100s of truck drivers a day. Finally one of the truck drivers I talk to gave me some great advice.  He told me to take a paper towel roll and put peanut butter inside in the center.  Tie it to you rod and reel and cast it out in the yard somewhere get a rocking chair and wait.  So I was sitting at the house one day bored and couldn't go fishing so heck ill try it out.  I got it all set up and tied on, put the roll under a oak tree I have in the back yard and nothing, so I left it sitting there and put a bell on my rod end. Went fixed lunch 30 min and the bell goes to ringing I slowly get out there and grab the rod and sure enough I went to reeling in reel slow and the joker actually stayed in there.  I went to go pick it up and off he went covered in peanut butter. That was the best 2 dollars for peanut butter I ever spent so if your ever stuck at home and can't go fishing give it a shot!! You wont be disappointed.    

heck ya

 

then shoot them point blank with a .410

Good idea.

 

Glad it worked for you.

 

With my luck the fox living behind my house will run out and grab it.

 

Or a crow will take it and fly off.

 

May give it a try with my grandson and see what happens.

I thought this was going to be about casting into trees. My Dad use to call that squirrel fishing.

I just went and put a whole new meaning to squirrel fishing.  My dad said the same thing

Good idea.

That would be great in front of the children... Aww squirel... BANG

I'm going to try it when the 6' of snow is gone from my back yard.  I'm also going to make sure my cats are out in the yard with me.  They'll need the exercise from being trapped inside all winter...
