Catfish bait

[ShawnD]

Anyone on here catfishing now .I need some bait advise.

Big shiners cut up. I have also used stew beef. Some that stink bait in a jar has worked.

Fresh cut bait. Bream works best for me:

Honestly. minnows.

Hot dogs, big reds, nightcrawlers, wiggler, cricket, dove soap, marshmellow, liver, gizzard, charlie, stink bait, cheese bait, cut bream, cut shad, live shad, live wounded bluegill, shrimp, crawdaddies. You name it, I've done it, most of it works.

But we catch the absolute most of the one to ten pound range with live minnows on bobbers fishing for crappie. That's my $.02

After many years of trying everything you can think of, I think that nothing beats fresh cut shiners, bream, or creek chubs.

 

[Dustin Pate]

Cut threadfins or gizzards would be by choice.

Raw bacon- sounds crazy but just try it and form your own opinion. I used to set lines in the Suwannee river and bacon far out produced fresh cut bait and anything else we used...

 

[glynr329]

Live bream probably a great choice.

 

[ucfireman]

Dove soap?
Charlie? That might illegal

Never like store bought bait, but cut you up a 2x2 piece of noodle foam and shove it down in TeamCatfish secret 7 bait. It will catch every channel catfish in there. I've tried everything and use several baits, secret 7 works every time . Big un's like chicken breast soaked in WD-40 around here. Most baits work, some better.

we always bring home frozen shrimp when we go to the coast.. seems like every time they prefer something different but it's a rare day they won't hit shrimp.. yeah sometimes crappie minnows

 

[Hillbilly stalker]

Here is a 67 lb one off chicken breast and WD-40. It works

 

[kmckinnie]
