Question

Whats the best way to catch a cat fish ?

Answer 1

hunt them down see where all the catfish are and use chicken liver for bait or any good stink bait

Answer 2

i) Use something really stinky as bait (I use chicken livers or Vienna sausage)

ii) Fish where they're at

Answer 3

I would set out a trot line with a treble hook and use corn meal or stink bait.

Another good method is to use chicken livers or a night crawler on a lindy rig.

Answer 4

throw a stick of tnt in the lake that will get all the fish u want.

Answer 5

Make yourself a Honey Hole.

Broad cast dog food in the area you wish to fish 12 hrs.in advance.catfish are bottom feeders.

use a 9 ft. med.spinning rod ,with 12 lb. test line, a sliding sinker, and a size 4 circle hook

Tip:  Chicken liver works but is rather soft and comes off the hook easy. Beef liver is just as effective and are stronger.

Fish with crawlers or beef liver early in morning or late evening.

Answer 6

I agree that chicken liver is the best bait available fo Catfish, they can't seem to resist it.    If you can't find liver for some reason, a good alternative is Velveeta cheese mixed up with some bread crumbs, or even some Ritz crackers if your feeling more spendy, Let that big ole clump just set on the bottom for a few minutes, and you should attract some attention.   When your done fishing you can eat your left over bait, it's delicious !!

( I know these recipes are meant for Trout but they absolutely work just as well if not better with Catfish, tried and proven by myself, and it's always best at night, the darker the better. )
