Even a small success is a success!!

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!

Watch out for those horns they are mean at that age.

They sure are, I've had em get me good before. The smaller they are the worse they hurt!!

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.

Good 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!
