Dad had a stroke, so I'm back in CA. He lives in a community that had a bunch of golf course lakes, but only a part of one allows fishing.
I was talking to a Grandfather with his son and they were trying to fish rigs that had eight different knots, and swivels and sinkers and God knows what else. Grand father says that hotdogs were the killer bait. They were getting bit but nothing else. So since the Grandfather was more interested in his cell & cigar, I asked if I could try. I striped everything except for a hook, put on a piece of hot dog & got bit instantly. Nice size gill too! Repeated the process, and set the hook, then hand the rod to the kid, and said try this rod. As soon as the slack was reeled out, he realized he had a fish. We did this for about 1/2 dozen gills.
Kinda fun, and nice to feel a tug on the line. And all the 'gills were pretty decent sized too.
So, doesn't anyone tie a hotdog jig?
