Lol I've been on some of those fishing trips with my own dad, I miss him. Never heard of the hot dog thing for bass though, I'm a bit intrigued. Maybe I'll try it in the spring.

Don't.
They don't work.
Stick to crawlers for live bait, tied shallow and bright colored artificial grubs for casting near reeds. Hotdogs won't work for poo poo.

Aren’t hot dogs precooked? You just heat ‘em up,right? I remember my mom used to feed me canned Vienna sausages when I was a toddler, which are just small cold hot dogs, more or less.

I appreciate I'm a monster for thinking the smell, texture and taste of a cold hot dog is one of the grossest things imaginable, it's cool, I accept my fate.

yeah i'm pretty sure he was just making it up or just got incredibly lucky. All it actually does is gets your hopes up the entire day because you are constantly getting nibbles that never lead anywhere.

I can't imagine that they would but the idea of it is really funny to me. I've seen people catch trout with corn and Velveeta. I typically use either topwater or shallow-diving rapalas for big bass around here. A weedless jighead with soft artificial bait also works well, though you gotta match the color to the water clarity.

Nah, I agree with you, as an adult I’m up for a good hot Polish dog on a bun, but lovely cold hotdogs aren’t appetizing. As a little kid, though, all bets were off.

who gave you cold hot dogs as a kid? They are supposed to stay in the hot water for a reason

They're perfectly safe to eat cold.

Whether you want to or not is a different matter. But there's no real 'reason' whatsoever for it.

no poo poo. The reason they are kept in hot water is that they taste better hot.

Cold hot dogs are great bait for crabs. Crabs don't get hooked or have anything that forces them to stay on. Crabs eat by holding the food with one claw, and bringing little bits of food to their mouth with their other claw. So you just need something that keeps them motivated to hang on as you pull them up, and hot dogs do that

People need to learn that the best HotDog is the one that's been broiled or baked, possibly pan-heated if you don't have a small oven.

Boiling them just takes out all the flavor

I've seen this done with chicken on a string but it's incredibly tedious and ineffective. Best way to do it is hunt them down with a longhandled net and a piece of dowling rod to poke them out of the rocks where they hide.

Depends on the area. The string thing works well where I've been, in bays where there's plenty of crabs but no visibility. You do definitely need a net, though; even the most hot dog-obsessed crab is going to have some questions once he breaches the surface

They're ridiculously fast once they get going. Out of curiosity where are you from? With no visibility it's kinda pointless here

Mostly bays along the NJ shore. It's a bit deep, and it's not rocky, it's thick greenish mud on the bay side. There are enough crabs that you get bites often. They can move fast, but you don't see it unless something has gone wrong and they're scuttling around the bottom of your boat

Other than being in NJ, and being nowhere near a city, and being in a bay, and using lines instead of traps, and having the goal of dinner instead of commerce, it's basically a documentary

I was drunk and walking home in Brooklyn a couple years ago and a guy stopped me and started giving me a long spiel about how he needed formula for his baby and he was poor and couldn't buy any because it was $20. I was too drunk and confused to tell him to gently caress off so I let him lead me to a convenience store where he brought two things of powdered formula up to the register and they rang up for $50. When I heard it was going to be $50 I gave him a kind of "heh what are you going to do" kind of shrug and ran out of the store and down the street into the night.

A popular scam involves talking a mark into buying something returnable in a nearby shop for the scammer. Once the mark leaves, the scammer gets a refund and buys drugs or whatever with the money.

That guy seems suss to me. If he needs to beg for family food money, why wouldn't his womam breastfeed instead? And two $25 tins sounds very greedy...doesn't a hit of heroin cost about that?

So you might well have dodged a $50 scammer bullet... or rather, run away from it.

Interesting. In my experience you can get a ton of em in the rocks but you have to be able to see them, or at least a part of them. I try to get them from shore or close to it. This is in CT btw, never been to Jersey

My Lovely Horse
Aug 21, 2010

Casually strolled into a complete stranger's apartment, entered the bathroom and took a piss.

Some girl was throwing a garden party, I had to piss, and she wasn't around so I asked my friend where the bathroom was, and he said, ground floor apartment, key's in the lock. Our host had in fact left the key out for people to get to the bathroom, but her apartment was on the 3rd floor. To this day I don't know why the lady in the groud floor unit had also left her key out. Or what my friend had been up to; if it was a prank of his I can't even be mad cause that opportunity doesn't come often.



About a year later another friend invited me to his new apartment and to meet his roommate. I thought the area seemed really familiar, and so did the house. Hi, nice to meet you, yes we have met in fact.
