Next time you buy onions save the mesh bags they come in. You can put a chicken or fresh roadkill coon or possom in it and hang it from an over hangin limb 10 or 15 yards upstream from the hole you want to bait. In a couple days the maggots will be swarmin on the meat and drop thru the onion sack into the water. The fish will be drawn to the maggots droppin into the water. Go ahead and laugh but this really works great. The dang tourists in them Kayaks and canoes cut mine down sometimes on the weekends.

Yah gotta be careful pickin up those roadkills. Last summer my grandson and I were headed to the river and I saw a fresh coon layin in the middle of the road. I slowed down and just opened my door and leaned out and scooped it up and threw it in the floor board at Nathan's feet. The dang thing was just knocked out and it started growlin and thrashin around. The kid was tryin to unbuckle his seat belt and crawl over the seat and I was slappin at it to keep it from bitein him. While all this was goin on in the car a log truck came roarin up behind us and dang near ran over us. I pulled into the ditch and got stuck in the mud. I finally got hold of the coon's tail and slung him out the window. I had to call my Daughter and her boyfriend to come pull us out with his 4x4. Needless to say I was in big trouble when they arrived and my grandson told his Mom how we got into this mess. It was weeks before she let me take the kid fishin. I guess she just don't have a sense of humor.

I don't care who you are...that thur's funny.

Pegleg - there's never a camcorder around when you really need one:o) It all sounded kinda funny or probably seems funny to you now, but at the time I bet it was a frightening experience!

d**n I almost spit my drink out on that one!!! That some funny stuff right there

Sounds like a good idea.

I would be concerned that the Tulane University coeds would cut down the bag and eat the contents.

But that's just my fear.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

That was pretty funny.  

That's about the funniest story I've heard in awhile.  Good stuff.

i just wonder what the log truck driver thought,,,,,,,,dang tourist.
