What do you guys to bait up a hole? What are the best places in a lake to bait? What do you use for bait? How long does it take to draw in fish?
Thanks!

We bait with range cubes and sour grain We look for timber in the depth we are looking for with a slope and creek running beside it We use Stubby’s Cheesebait When we bait a new , never fished hole, we throw a bag of cubes out and check the next day. Then throw another bag out after we have checked it. If it produces, we bait the spot a few times a week.

I have gotten to where I just use soured milo and stopped messing with range cubes and other stuff. I put it in a 5 gallon bucket, fill is about 70% of the way up with milo. Put water in it until it is all 2-3 inches under water. I bought screw on tops at Lowes in the painting area for $8. Basically turns any 5 gallon bucket into a nice bucket with a screw on top! Let milo sit for three or four days at least and its ready! Get a scooper and toss out 3-5 scoops per spot. Make a run of spots along rocky banks and thick stick ups on mud flats and see what is working on your lake. I like to fish in 3-6 fow. I bait 6-8 areas out within 30 minutes and then go back to spot number 1 and work my through my spots. Sometimes you only need a few spots but I found this is enough to fish half a day. I love CJ's bait but it is stinky and wear a medical glove to keep it off your hand or try and punch the hook halfway down into the nasty stuff with a stick and it may be good enough to bait your hook

We are in 26-30ft right now. Stubby and I can catch 100 or so fish in about 2.5-3 hrs.
