nothed Outdoorsman Registered: 05/16/11 Posts: 27 Loc: Fort Hood, Texas	Usually if I don't want anything getting my bait, I put it on a hook and throw it into Belton Lake. I can leave it in there for hours, probably even days with nothing touching it. Hope that helps!

nothed Outdoorsman Registered: 05/16/11 Posts: 27 Loc: Fort Hood, Texas	You must know some spots that I don't know then. I cant find shad to save me so I caught a nice white drum the other night and filleted it up. I didn't even get a nibble on that. I went to the Korean market and bought some thread herring. Tried that out today with the same result. I may try again tomorrow.
