Thread: Alfalfa hay

If I was to try this, wrapping with chicken wire and anchoring down good, about how long would it produce good before needing replaced?

I was fishing close to an area one day where I was watching several boats catch loads of crappie. It surprised me because I had tried the area many times and had no success. I knew how to fish the area and thought to myself that something must have attracted fish to the area. I saw so many crappie caught and released from that one general area it was unreal. I got an early start the next morning to get in on the action. I had a limit as fast as I could get em out of the water. I caught fish after fish after fish. Most of them came though from a small concentrated area (which is typical for crappie) but there was nothing in this area to draw that many fish. I finally snagged something on the bottom and brought it to the surface. Someone had sunk some kind of feed or something in a burlap sack. I do not know what was in the sack, but I know this is what drew all of those fish in. It worked like a charm whatever it was.

Crappie seeker I agree with you. I fished one of the spots I dropped some hay Saturday morning and the screen lit up like a Christmas tree at this spot. I have to believe the hay is drawing them in.heres a screenshot

BAMA give me the coordinates and me and Bob will come down and clean up that Christmas tree for you ha ha

Probably was cottonseed meal......it works good and we put it out in a burlap sack.

G we always called it meal cake . We used it in our catfish baskets and put it in burlap so it would last longer

That's right Lee....we got it in cake form....broke it up and put it in a burlap sack
