My wifes cousin and some of his friends regularly take dog food in panty hose and add weight to them and drop them on existing brush piles. Is this beneficial? The stuff growing on the brush pile is what attracts the bait fish in anyway, right?

If you are wanting to attract catfish it sounds perfect.

My Uncle baits a dock with plenty structures in about 18 Fow—with a bucket of Cottenseed cake and dog food — attracts minnows -minnows attract crappie
I have heard alfalfa cubes work great and last a long time.
Look up Crappie Kings Crappie Cake Bags. I ordered some, tossed it out at my local spot one day, came back the next morning and BAM! I have a YouTube video of me catching fish there and you actually see me toss the bag out. It last for 7 days.
I saw video on the stuff . Bet it is alfalfa or cottonseed based .Quote:

how would you use the alfalfa cubes? Can you just toss them in the water or do they float
if you have the money (and they don't cost that much), buy a block of bird seed mix from your hardware shop or country store and toss that whole block into the water. You'll draw in carp, catfish, panfish, baitfish, and crappie for days after.
Wax seed company in Amory used to sell the cotton seed cakes and people put them (huge chunks when cleaning the vat ) in burlap sacks and tied them around a bail of hay and sunk . 8 hrs. later they were fishing them . Not as good as pulling crushed black walnuts in the slough but close . :biggrin
I believe I read somewhere here about people using range cubes to bait areas
A friend has 13 porcupine fish attractors hanging in his slip. For years it was a great crappie fishing hot spot, producing both numbers and nice size of crappie. Last year he added a timed feeder to it to drop bait into the water. It is now good for catfish but the crappie are gone. It is rare to catch one in his slip now and the ones that are caught are now dinks.Quote:
