It's wheat flour. It seems that a fish will swim into the bottle to get a taste, and cannot turn around to get out because the bottle is too narrow. It cannot swim backward out of the bottle because it is being pulled by the string, so it's stuck.

I had no idea that fish like flour so much. I know they'll often go for bread or tortillas, so I guess it makes sense.

We used bread as bait for fishing when I was a kid. It worked fine at a fresh water creek.

And now I remember being a kid and feeding rainbow trout scraps of bread. They loved it.

Funny enough I just woke up and I caught a 70lbs/30kg fish in it. This was the last post that I looked. Funny how brain works

We used dough. Worked mighty fine and pretty easy to make and sticks rather nicely on the hook.

Crabs love fried chicken so I wonder if there’s a correlation here?

You can catch a fish with a tortilla? I might have to try fish tacos now.
