I'm not much of a Catfishing guy, but I saw a guy at my local city park lake yesterday catch a few nice kitties using fresh Trout guts. I hadn't heard that one before, but I've always seen guys do good with fresh Makeral.

I have done ok with the fresh mackeral, but its a pain to keep it on the hook.

there are some good dough baits out there like chicken liver/chicken blood. They stink to high heaven. Takes 5 or 6 times washing your hands to get the smell off. I have similar in a tub that you mold onto the hook like you do with Powerbait. Haven't done much cat fishing yet but planning to.

Thanks, Like I said I'm not a catfisherman and I should add the guy who was doing it was also using 3 rods. I heard him telling some others yesterday about using trout guts...I will be sure to warn the people when he does it.

I found out catfish go bonkers over soybeans.

perhaps make your own dough-bait with soybeans/soy meal. They use soybeans in most catfish hatcheries because they can replace the need for meat. Something the cats will find familiar..

Thanks for the tips, i was using hog wild in the summer but didnt have too much sucses, and tghe catfish garvy is judt too expensive

I make my own it is 1/2 cup molasses 2 table spoons of anise extract and 1 table spoon of garlic powder works very well with cut mackeral

[luckyjr21]

Is anise extract the suff that smells like black licorce?where do you get it from?

It isnt fresh if it falls off the hook catch some macs the night / day b4 your trip and you will see it doesnt fall off just keep it on ice... size 2 owner hook or bigger
Hogwild is great dip even better if you spray a whole bunch of bang, garlic scented. its messy but does the job!

other baitts... Bonito, shrimp, m&m, inflated and non inflated night crawler, hot dog, chicken liver...

Hope that helps.....


Have a SHARP knife so you dont mush the mac meat up probly one reason why your mac falls apart..
