CATFISH BAIT RECIPES

Ivory Soap cut into about one inch chunks work. Bubble gum works. Hard boiled eggs left out in the sun for a few days then mash and mix with some cheese. Smells bad but they seem to like it. Also, the proccessed ham and turkey slices you can get at your local walmart seem to work really well too and is a cheap form of bait. The slices can be a bit difficult to keep on the hook because it is thin but if you wrap it around the hook a few times it will stay on fairly well or mix it up in some white bread and make yourself some dough balls out of it and it stays on a little better too. There is not much that a catfish will not eat. [cool]
I have fun just trying all sorts of different things. [signature]

I live in the Northwest Panhandle of Florida. Fish mostly lakes and small ponds. Fish down on the river once in a while. It has some big cats in it, but a little hard and crowded if you do not have a boat. It also has a sturgeon population, but have never caught one and only known a select few who have. Fish a lot of saltwater from a bridge and a little surf fishing once in a great while. Every July I go to Alaska and fish salmon and trout and if the water is not too rough we do a little halibut fishing. I mostly fish catfish in freshwater. I love catfish! I will do some bass fishing while I wait on the cats, but I do not specifically go and target bass. Lots of lakes and ponds here and easy drive to the saltwater as well. So if one is not doing well the other probably is. If not, I just enojoy the peace and quiet. I can sit all day or night and catch nothing and still have a great time. The fish are just a very welcome bonus. What about you?

[cool]Get yerself some greenback macs. Cut 'em up into chunks appropriate for the size cats yer after (Be generous!). Put the chunks in jars, include the guts & juices.
Leavethe jar(s) in the sun the day before your outing. They make their own sauce! [  ] This is much easier than trying to chunk up a "fermented" mackeral. Not quite as messy, either! Fishslayer [signature]

Considerin' all the stuff these cats will eat, it makes me wonder why anybody would wanna eat the cats. I mean, do you really want to eat the same moldy, stinky, stuff? Indirectly, you are. Bleck!!

I'm from Utah and we get some big Channel Cats up here...up to about 15 pounds is not too uncommon. The best bait I've used is very simple...just a chunck of carp meat or white bass meat on a hook with no wait, let is sink lightly to the bottom. Can't beat it, and it stinks a lot less than all that other sh**. Anyway it has produced plenty of big cats for me.

yep that sounds like it will work too . i'm pretty sure most of the chanel cats top out at 15 , but i'm hoping to get a great grand daddy one day , breaking a record would be a fishing hilight for me and the site to brag about !

[cool] Hey there lonehnter,
Don't give up on the old favorites. Velveeeta cheeze and recently I have discovered that philladelphia cream cheese(regular not whipped) with a little garlic mashed in it and just the right amount of cuttlefish sauce(available at your local oriental market) even if it is 40 miles away. [signature]

i'm also collecting dough ball recipes on the michigan board , so far ther's just a few , but there for trout , catfish and carp . once i get enough of them we'll get them put on here as well ! [sly]
velveta ? and waste a perfectly good grilded cheese sandwich for a fish ? [shocked] darn , that's one hard decision ! [cool][cool][cool][cool] [signature]

Mackeral sun dried and cover with Garlic powder works good too. Of course nightcrawlers and mini marshmellows works too.
I like to keep it simple. All these Crave baits, etc I have heard work too but then your putting chemicals in the water and there are enough in there already. All my bait is eatable and will disolve with no adverse reactions to the enviroment [signature]

that's what i like about these recipies , safe for the environment and safe and easy for any youngster ( and older youngsters - like myself ) to make and enjoy the experiance of fishing with something we put together ourselves .[
 ] keep them coming , i'm out there testing them myself . [cool] [signature]
08-29-2003, 05:29 PM
[cool] Hey there LH,
The two recipies that I gave you are both recyclable. What ever is left over, you can take home and still put it on crackers or toast. Is that environmentally friendly enough??? Bon appetit!! [signature]
08-29-2003, 07:37 PM
SO , IF SOMEONE SAYS ARE YOU GOING TO FISH OR CUT BAIT , YOU CAN SAY BOTH AND HAVE A SNACK AS WELL ! LOL!

[cool] If you get just the right amount of garlic in the mix, it will also keep the fish and game warden at bay. He won't have a clue what your up to nor will he get close enought to find out. But don't forget to offer him some cheese and crackers for doing such a fine job. Ha Haaaaaaaaa with the garlic breath.
