Chum= Few Freshwater anglers understand the effectiveness of chumming. Fishfinder Products recently introduced a ready-to-fish chum bag designed specifically for catfish.Dry Chum bag, made from real catfishfoods and fish oils, is packaged in a no-mess foil bag.
Mussels=(Blue catfish)In summer as shoreline shallows warm, many mussels die and float to the surface. Gather the shells with dip nets to use the soured flesh for bait.
Clams=Clams are one of the best catfish baits. Collect them in the shallows or drag bottom areas with clamming hooks.For more info on clamming Click Here.
SkipJack=(Blue catfish)Cut a skipJack in small pieces, run a hook through a chunk, and cast it toward the swirls from SkipJacks
Sour Bait=Scale and fillet the carp and cut the fillets into 1X2-or3-inch pieces about half an inch thick. Pack the pieces into a glass jar, leaving an inch open at the top. Add a few teaspoons of water to accelerate fermentation. Screw on the lid loosely-not too tight or the expanding gasses may cause the jar to explode. Bury the jar in 6 inches of soil that receives sunlight for most of the day. It's best to let the bait fester for almost a week
