2 of my grandsons wanted to fish for trout, but not wanting to let them in the swift moving river I took them to the pond popular for perch. I had heard of marshmallows and hotdogs being an acceptable bait. We baited up both. The marshmallow was good for 1 channel cat and the whiners worked great. They both caught several channel cats with the youngest catching a 2-3 lb and the older one caught one close to 5LBs,it was the biggest fish they had ever caught, and made great pics with grins a Papa was ecstatic to get pics of.
