Catfish Bait....
 

alright guys

I always like trying new types of bait to catch my cat with.

What is your guys favorite bait to use to hammer the cat with.



I personally have had good luck this year with just chicken liver from the store. I tried some blood scented powerbait and blood scented gulp but neither one has landed me a cat yet.

chicken liver left to ferment in the hot sun for a day seems to be a fav for where i have fished for um!!!! they love rotten stuff lol the stankier the better!!!:rocking:

Yup I use some good stinky chicken livers :U:

Hot Dogs

Shrimp & a stinky marshmallow

Sturgeon blood meat. Comes from the back blood cord. Hung, salted, cured and cut into about 1" lengths. They can't leave it alone!

Dave

Chicken Hearts

find a dead possum, coon, or skunk along side the road and throw it in a burlap sack with a few big rocks and let it set in the sun for about 5 or 6 days then toss her i nthe water where your fishing at.......actual cats work good too......they just dont have to be dead when you throw them in the water though.......

Vancum sealed chicken guts. i dont like to smell it until i hit the water

LOL good one Logan. Iused the "stink" baits. Then I switched to an Ivory Soap Bait.

Ivory Soap Bait



Ingredients:

4 bars of Ivory soap (Family size)
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of water
sheet of wax paper or foil



Preparation:

In a small pot, combine sugar and water and dissolve. Shave soap into the water mixture and heat over a low fire. Stir until soap is melted. Pour soap mixture onto paper and pat with wet hands to avoid burning and soap from sticking. Pat soap into flatten mass approximately 1/2 inch thick. Cut into cubes while soap is warm and place in an air tight container or zip-lock bag to retain moisture. DO NOT LET SOAP COOL BEFORE CUTTING - IT WILL BECOME BRITTLE! Soap bait will be pliable and easy to use either with single or treble hooks.

Where would i find some of this at Dave??

are you fishing with rods and reels or trout lines?

Are you using rods and reels or trout lines?

I use the old rod and reel

I get it out of the fish we take every year. Haven't been able to get any sturgeon in any numbers this year due to the record cold river flows. But as soon as I get back on the water, I'll have some more.

I send a bunch of it to my uncle in CA. So, I get lots of catfish up this way. :D

It also works great on walleye in a spinner shrimp type setup.

Dave

any chance you could send me some sturgeon bait Dave? How much would you want for some for me to try?

Also, i just use a rod n reel

bow and arrow, shotgun, or the old faithful dynamite.....

i was going to say me my dad my cousin and my neighbor almost sunk an aluminum john boat one night we had so many cat fish and we only had 3 or 4 trout lines out:yeah:

you want to be able to keep the fish and eat it after you catch the friggin thing

how bout a 7 foot St Croix Rod and a Red 6600 Ambassadeur Classic Reel and 80 pound test Suffix Braid for a unstoppable catfish setup
