Made a simple homemade dough bait yesterday, then tried it out at a spot that hasn't produced fish since last year. Pulled this little fella out! Looking forward to using and modifying this dough bait in the near future! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/03/full-116011-89515-img_20210319_171609938_hdr.jpg)

Good feeling to catch a fish on something you made. Good job.

Not everybody can catch a fish with a mouth that small.  Great job.

Definitely feels good catching my first fish on homemade bait banker, I thought that netting the bait I used was satisfying-- this is an even better feeling! Thanks for the laugh Osborn, I was using medium tackle and thought that I had set my hook straight into lake water until it got to the bank! Hoping I can make something half as effective as Stubby's some day, littlewheel

You will get it figured out. I think Stubby spent about 15 years getting his to where he likes it

Definitely hate when I'm fishing for sunnies and reel in a little cat. Suckers'll stick you every time!

Chief Wiggum: This is Papa Bear. Put out an APB for a male suspect, driving a... car of some sort, heading in the direction of, uh, you know, that place that sells chili. Suspect is hatless. Repeat, hatless.
