never seem to need bait. mine do quite well without it.
Alfalfa works great. But it takes a tremendous amount of weight to get a whole bale to sink. The alfalfa cubes in the onion sacks is the way to go.

Man I am learning some tricks in this crappie structure piece of crappie.com. This is my first visit over here. I need to try some of this stuff as I am having some trees and stuff cut out of the yard now.
Where is the best place to find those alfalfa cubes?

He's talking about cattle cubes!
How about rabbit food then? It has a high alfalfa content and comes in small pellets. I would think a bunch of those in a burlap sack would work too. Make up a bunch of sacks and go around dropping them at various structure points.

I sink cotton-seed range cubes picked up from feed store.It tends to attrach fish fast but usualy smaller pearch respond better.
I put out sweet feed at times ,but in warm weather draws lots of whiskers.

Ragfly,
I get my alfalfa cubes at a hardware/feed store. About 10 bucks for fifty pound bag.
