Hey, Chum!

Responding to a question in the comments:

Working from up-stream to downstream:

Soaked-and-boiled, shelled corn (for carp) behind the Assembly of God church and at the boat launch. These used to be a mill-pond and the sill of the former dam still backs up the water to form bayous.


Cut up, Bar-S hotdogs below the rapids where the old mill dam was. I may push some pea-stone into each chunk so it doesn't float downstream too fast.

More cut-up, Bar-S hotdogs where Quaker Brook runs into the outside of a very tight bend.

    A trick used down here is to put a few pounds of cattle cubes in a burlap sack and tie it to a stob in the shallow end of the lake. It'll draw catfish. A couple of cups of small cat food kibbles scattered off the end of the dock at the same time every day will train them too. That's handy when you want a child to fall in love with catching. They'll be a fisher person for life. It's good lessons for training disciplers too.
