Odd baits that have caught fish...

[Dux-R-Us]

Two of mine are

1. a cherry tomato got a channel cat
2. cigarette butt (several PCB, mercury, and DDE laden fish from NW Indiana)

raw chicken nuggets have pulled in channel cats for me.

pork and beans for blue gill, hotdogs marinated in beer and garlic are killer baits for jug line fishing for blue cats or channel cat.

Used a Mark II grenade in a flooded shell crater back in the day to bring up a few fish to supplement the K-rations.

I lost the last of my lures that I was catching bass on one time. So I took a piece of bologna off my sandwich and caught another bass. I have caught crappie on a bare hook before by accident. I had my hook dangling in the water while I was reaching for a minnow and a crappie hit the bare hook. Sliced up mud cats do well on channel cat.
This thread should bring the liars out of the woodwork.

After hearing some Okie stinkbait recipes I don't think anything I've ever used counts as weird anymore.

Chewing gum. Saw my mom use it when I was a kid.

My Grandfather on my dads side, used a mixture of Wheaty's and vanilla to make dough balls to catch catfish, (it gets real sticky, and hangs on a trebble hook really good).
My Great Grandfather on moms side, that had some reputation as a catfisherman around Arkansas City Ks., always used chewing tobacco in his catfish stink bait. I was too young to question him about his methods/techniques.

Every June the kids at our VBS use canned corn and hot dog pieces and bobbers and they always catch blue gill and some small bass in the creek behind our church. One of the old guys(about 75) that is a sponser for the fishing every year has some sort of "goo" he makes at home and brings in a margarine container, It smells like it's made out of a mix of dead skunk and horse crap. if the fish aren't biting he will dip the hotdog pieces in this goo and it always catches fish. When I asked him what the heck is that? He said "I don't know my wife makes it out of stuff in the kitchen" When we have dinners, her deserts ar always the best.

I cought my very first fish when I was about 3 yr old on canned corn out at the pond at my Great Grandpas farm. At the time I thought it was a monster but when I look at the pictures it's more like a minnow.
