I have heard that if you get canned dog food and poke holes in them and sink them by a tree would help. I have never tried this, but heard it from an older gentleman that had done this.

I've heard of gettin a five gallon bucket and adding just enough concrete to make it sink, fill the bucket with dog food and drills holes just big enough to keep the food in. When it become moist enough the fish learn to tap the bucket with their nose. Tie a rope and buoy too it and fill it every time you fish that spot ive got two spot we do this to and it works pretty darn GOOD!!

if you want catfish and carp do as mentioned above. If you want crappie, dont but ANY food down there as it will only attract your "trash" fish.

I've heard that attaching your old scratch off lottery tickets to your brush piles work good. thumb The crappie are really drawn to them and what better a way of recycling them. cheers
