Here's an exciting new fishing arena that could be used when the fish arent biting.

Now I've seen it all...any info as to line, reel, rod, etc? I noticed they used bottom fishing tactics as well as a modified "float" rig. Did they use "live" peanuts, frozen, or what? Maybe they would have better luck with "nutbites". They would probably last longer at least. Perhaps using a "Kite Rig" would be productive in luring them out of the trees. The possibilities here are endless. I could market a cast net to catch peanuts (a "Carter" net perhaps), peanut flavored "nutbites", a wire mesh "nut trap", etc. Of course, the Southern squirrels would probably prefer the boiled peanuts. :D

I'll think I'll have to try that on the squirrels that hang around my place.

a flyrod would allow for more precise placement and allow a better fight... :rolleyes: ;)

sprtsracer, Now that's what I call a great response and some wonderful ideas. You too Rattler. I wonder if we could get a devoted section on P&S for this?

I used to do the same thing with deer at Pungo. I'd attach and apple on the end of my surf rod and throw it out to see if they would bite. Deer are easily spooked by anything, but it was fun to see them come up to the apple.

Even better...if I sat in front of a bar and put a $100 bill on the hook...wonder how many gold-diggin women I'd catch? Let's see...drag it slowly across the parking lot...bumping it off the ruts, a little jerking action, fast and then slow retrieve...? Hmmmmm...gold or platinum leader, diamond bobber stop...crap...I'd probably still end up with either my ex-wife or another hardhead cat!!! :D
