I know lots of folks use hot dogs with tipups for pike. Has anyone hung them below a bobber in the BW?

They work well until the chili washes off and then their effectiveness drops dramatically.

I'm sure it could work in the summer but i'm also guessing it wouldn't be your best option. Give it a try and report back.

I heard a tale of a big largemouth bass being caught in my town on a piece of hotdog. I know they work well for catfishing. Never heard of anyone using them pike. There is one way to find out for sure........

they work best rigged wacky style

I have gone through countless packs of hot dogs during the winter chasing northerns under tip-ups, but for some reason I've never considered it during the summer. I think I'll give it a try in the next few days....certainly would be cheaper than sucker minnows.

I always use hotdogs with some peanuts and a MLB game... your results may vary.

when I was a kid my grandmother took me fishing but she didn't want to buy bait. So she brought hotdogs. We got a bunch of turtles that day :)

it will stay on your hook a lot longer than a mushy smelt or ciscoe.
1 person in our ice fishing clan tried it last winter with no results , but i have heard it works , i'm sure it could produce under a float , heck i had a pike take a double float bobber off the surface and i landed it with the boober way down it's throat. why not a hot dog ?
