I do what Dave does, except for the fact that I use "women's hosiery" instead of a paint strainer bag. It's good at keeping the pellets in one spot and obviously releases their into the water. Plus, the minnows can't actually eat the pellets, so it's the bait that keeps on catching.

Watch out for turtles--if they get in there, they'll get upset and tear the bag to pieces to get at the pellets. And don't tell your wife she's missing anything.

"Only after sorrow's hand has bowed your head will life become truly real to you; then you will acquire the noble spirituality which intensifies the reality of life. I go to an all-powerful God. Beyond that I have no knowledge--no fear--only faith."
