Any Interest in Live Waterdogs?

I guess there is a better than decent chance that this was not an unintentional April Fool's joke. I guess we will see if someone confesses on the 2nd.

I am trying to determine if there is an interest out there to ship live waterdogs for Bass bait. I have access to the Waterdogs, and we also run a Fedex ship center as part of our business, so I have the means to get them to your home.

For anyone not familiar with a Waterdog, they are considered by many to be the best Bass bait on the planet. Waterdogs are immature Tiger Salamanders, living underwater and breathing through gills. They are generally 5 to 7 inches in length and have been known to catch Big Bass.

We could ship them in lots of 2 to 4 dozen, with a price around 2.50-3.50 per Waterdog, 2nd Day Air shipping included. Please reply if this is something that interests you. I could use some input in making a decision whether or not to take the time and energy required to make this a viable business.

Hahahaha I was driving around the other week and saw a bait shop selling waterdogs and it made me think of this. Glad bassfishin.com is still the go to spot for all your waterdog needs.

Kenneth that appears to be a spotted salamander,not a water dog.
Years ago while fishing the Chattooga river I saw a very vibrant orange spotted newt,that area is quite how should I say full of them.Remember it well even though 20 years ago,as caught the largest brown of my fly fishing attempts on a number 10 stimulator,5 weight rod only 19 in but was a whopper for me.
Most of the waterdogs,hellbenders ive seen came from tributaries of the ohio river muddy green brown with a yellow belly and of course red gills,basically not real colorfull,and I always tookem off with pliers as didnt like the looks of those teeth.
Generally caught at the mouths of creeks just about first of march on live bait 8-12 in long

What really qualifies as a waterdog??? A large brown amphibian or a canine companion who just happens to be in the water??? Or maybe, a person that has been referred to as being a "sly ole dog" who is going for a swim.

These questions I ask myself every night before going to bed, and weigh heavily on my thoughts throughout the day... I mean there must be some scientific analysis somewhere that proves or disproves one or more of the above.

Thought this was a fitting post for having been awol for over a year.

Check this out.......needs a couple sharp hooks but would do in a pinch!

[lilmule]

Just where can one get that and does it come in a brown,prefer however to have no trebles underneath.
I think any lizard or newt will work as many are aquatic in nature

Found it when I searched "waterdog" pics. Tylurecustombaits.com but the site doesn't come up.


If you can't find them then maybe one of these might work



Or how about one of these???

[lilmule]

First one works quite well for catfish,place cutup bait in a jar sprinkle sweet annis add bloodmeal,let sit a few weeks,wont sit on bottom long at all.The blue cats here like just plain ol hotdog bits.

Found them under 8 inches of snow..
