Hard dog food, or soft canned?

I like hard dog food, crackers, and some others I don't remember.

i either use hard dog food because it doesnt disinigrate fast and keeps the minnows coming for a while or puncture a tuna can and put it in the trap

fish flavored canned cat food works great for crayfish and minnorws for me.  just punch holes in the can.

I just use chunks of white bread, or even white styrofoam. All you need is the colour to attract the baitfish

I read in a maginzine that you put sticks of bubble gum in the trap. I never tried it but they said it works really good.
I am a maniac for gills!!!!

A small amount of dry cat or dog food.

Pretty much anything. I've found that leftover steak works well.
"I fish because I love to; because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience; because maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; and finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but suspect so many other concerns of men equally unimportant- and not nearly so much fun."

Quaker oats.
