got a few cans of sardines from biglots and filled old pantyhose with them.threw them into a cove and the fish turned on in about an hour! ended up with 14 nice channels around 5-8lbs. don't know if it was really the sardines or the pantyhose!!!!LOL

How deep are your holes you are baiting in the heat of summer?

Thanks, I will give it a try as soon as I can. I have a batch of wheat and a batch of soybeans souring as we speak. I was thinking of putting the soybeans in a sack and sinking in a couple of spots. Then when we are ready to fish, sweeten the hole with a little wheat. I also have some cotton seed meal, it may be worth trying also.

If you put the soured grain in a burlap sack and weighted it down good, will it work in a river or stream with current? Anyone ever tried this?

We have caught Channels up to 13 lbs and broke off lots of fish. Suspect them big Flatheads may hang around, as after a few days of baiting the bait fish are thick over our holes.

When I was a kid, my dad worked at a Safeway store. He would collect the unsold (stale) bread.
We put it in burlap bags, weighted it down, and dropped it alongside treetops (also weighted and down).
We did this at Lake Nimrod and would always limit out with 3 1/2 - 5 lb slabs...course that was 60 years ago.
