[cool][size 1]Didja hear about the guy who became a baker because he kneaded the dough? (BOO)
As you already know, you can catch a lot of fish on a piece of wadded up bread. I used to fish all day on a small ball of flour and water dough that my mother would make for me before I walked down to the creek near our house. I caught everything from sucker and chub minnows on it...to three pound rainbows.
One of the easiest and very effective baits for carp is saltine crackers, just chewed enough to moisten them so that you can put a ball on the hook. After that, things can get pretty exotic...using all kinds of breakfast cereals, flours, meals, etc. Some use flavorings from the kitchen cabinets. Others incorporate some wild flavorings. Some are best used uncooked. Others hold up better if cooked a bit. The British have a whole line of dough baits they call "boilies".
From my archives on websites, I just happen to have a few links to sites where they provide recipes for many different kinds of baits...for carp, cats, trout and you name it. If you need/knead more dough, check these out.

The last batch i made just the other day i used 1 can sardines in oil, 1 can salmon, 1 can tuna. Dumped all three in a blender, blend till liquid put in bowl and knead with flour till you get the right blend for dough balls and go fishing. The channel love it and your hands don't smell bad after using it. The batch before that i left out the tuna and the cats loved it also. Also just use velveta cheese on a treble they really eat that up also.

[cool] I'm trying to get a collection of them. My son, who recently started to get hooked on fishing doesn't relize that what works in one spot on a specific species may not always work in another spot on the same species. And that sometimes what works in some areas may be better in other areas. Thanks for any info that you may be able to contribute. If I write a book, like my TubeDad did, I will make sure that everyone gets the proper credit for thier info. I used to live in Utah and never used dough baits. Now that I am in SoCali, people are nuts over them. It must be all of that Los Angeles smog. hack hack hack!!!! LOL
