What is the best cat fish bait to use.?

Question

the best bait the well get me hits

Answer 1

its nasty but chicken liver with lots of chicken blood. catfish are smell hunters so a chumming method would be effective. get some dog kibble or corn and throw pieces on the surface. u should see catfish eat it within 10-15 min. depending on how big the fishing area is. but this will also attract sunny. u can even put some corn on your hook and this would work good. then there is night crawlers and other insects. my grandpa uses sour dough balls and those work terrific as well. catfish are bottom feeders but will come up to the top and lounge so you can fish them on the bottom or top. ive even caught some on rapalas!!

Answer 2

bluegills(brim), chubs, shad ,and goldfish. dead bait is also good but make sure you cut your bait behind the eyes because catfish go after the eyes.

Answer 3

chicken livers  

Answer 4

Did you watch the noodling competition on the Nat. Geo channel on tv?

The correct answer for them was: Their hand and arm; ye-ouch.

The other day I was walking the St Joes river in Michianna, and saw I guy with huge cat fish.  He was using soft shell crawdads.

Answer 5

I caught one with a pickle on a bet once - not the preferred method.  

Use minnows, worms, chicken, frogs, sausage, hot dog chunks (1/2 - 3/4"), etc.

Answer 6

Use cut bait like shiners, minnows or perch if they are legal where you fish. Cutting up the fish release the scents and oils much faster into the water and brings the catfish and bottom feeders in to your baits faster. If you use a 1/0 - 3/0 circle hook the fish will practically hook themselves when they swim off. Just remember to fish on or near the bottom and cast to the same area to keep the scent working for you. Hey good luck and catch a bunch!

bluegills scale them leave the skin on as it will stay on the hook better but cut them in about 1 inch chunks works great
