Easy chum

March 11th 2011 01:27
Chumming for freshwater fish is illegal is some areas and legal in others. Here's a tip you can use at your own discretion!

A good, non-gross chum for catfish is a simple can of dog-food.

Simply take a nail or your knife and put a few holes in the can so the scent will get into the water and toss it into the area where you plan to fish.

It doesn't matter what brand of dog-food you use or how much it costs. The cheaper--the better is my way of thought. If you want to worry about anything, make sure the dog-food has an odor. Catfish will think of it as an aroma!


Next time you stop at the store to pick up some chicken livers, invest just a little more and get a can of dog-food to go with it!




Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!

Why make your own baits?

One the biggest reasons people fail to make their own baits is the fact that it's just too darned easy to run out and purchase some of the commercially prepared products.

There's no denying that chicken liver is one of the best catfish baits you can use. Unfortunately, there also no denying that they're darned hard to keep on the hook!

It's hard to talk about flipping without mentioning pitching. It seems as if you do one, you almost invariably do the other!

Here's a really good video from YouTube featuring professional angler Timmy Horton explaining both techniques in just a few words.

Weekend tip--more catfaish bait

November 3rd 2007 02:39
A dynamite catfish bait is simple to make.

Add enough cherry soda (or pop depending of where you're from) to some sugar frosted cornflakes until you get a doughy consistency. Then, you take some dough and start shaping it into a ball. You can even shape a few around hooks to speed things along on your next fishing trip.

Weekend tip--Catfish bait

October 20th 2007 02:46
If you want to catch more catfish, believe it or not, smearing some peanut butter on your bait or lure may help.

To toughen chicken livers, spread them on a cookie sheet and sprinkle on a mixture of salt and garlic powder. Let them set in the sun for a couple of hours and then, turn them over for a couple more. DON'T try to speed things along by trying this in a microwave! It just cooks the meat.
