I live on a lake in Louisiana. I've found that red hot dogs work the best. Idk about where you are or whatever. If you need alot of fish to fry i suggest using a yo-yo. Not the toy but a fishing yo-yo. Just put it on a dock with a piece of shiner or hotdog and it will set the hook and keep it about 4 inches underwater so it will stay alive. Its good to leave out over night if you need about 20 a night. Just set it up and leave it over night.
