My father always laughed at me when i was a little kid cause i would try the strangest baits to go fishing with. One time when i was about 10 or so i took my sister down to the salt water tributary behind our house at the time and we were fishing for croaker, tautog, speckled, and brown trout, basically what ever would bite. we didnt have enough money to buy a box of worms after i'd bought her lunch with my allowance, so we went over to the produce depatment of our grocery store and bought a bunch of celery. the lady checking us out laughed when she heard that we were gonna use it as bait, but when we showed back up about three hours later with about half a dozen croaker in a wheeled cooler filled with river water to get my sisters picture taken and posted on the community catch board she couldn't believe her eyes. my dad still insists it was the smell of the chicken nuggets on the celery that attracted those fish, and me and my sister still swear up and down that it was all the celery, so try it some time. you never know what you'll catch if you don't try, just like attracting deer by rubbing your hands and face with orange oil to keep off the cold ;)
