Would par boil the tater so it would stay the hook. toss it weight less or with an egg sinker so the fish didn't feel the weight and just kinda drift into the batch of them sunning themselves. if the taters kept coming off, would mix in some flour or corn meal to keep in on the hook.

Any time Buddy
we would leave the skin on to help hold the hook.

Never used taters, I gotta try that. I remember years ago , my dad would cook up bunch of tators like that... At first I thought it was dinner 'till I saw him dumpin' them in a bucket, then settin' a can of worms on top of 'em... That's when I really figure out what they were gonna be used for.. I think it has something to do with the "starch" that's in them...But, they work, I do remember that. Trot-lines,nets,brush lines and poles....

Used to have awful good luck with spoon size shredded wheat. Five brickets, stick 'em in th' river, squish 'em up till they made dough and stick 'em on a # 4 treble hook.
Spent a lot of time on a nice sandy bank with a good friend doin' that. Puffin' on a Swisher Sweet to keep th' gnats off an' munchin' on moon pies an' sippin' cola. Good ol' days fellers ... good ol' days .............
