Buy boneless chicken breast and cut it all up into small pieces.
Put it in a zip lock baggie.
Pour bottle of anison oil into bag.
Pour a little bit of water.
RED kool-aid mix.
SHAKE it up real good and let soak.

Catfish love it.

Me and a buddy of mine reeled in 8 today at our buddy's pond. It was kind of a last minute thing so we just bought some ole stink bait at Walmart, but it worked.

Mine would have to be chicken liver or just a big gobb of night crawlers is always great.

[thetribe]

Chex Mix with strawberry soda poured over it. I don't know why but it works. Great to catch minnows with too.

[The Fan]

if your at a pay pond take a quart of pickled corn throw some out in the pond tie a rope on the jar punch a few holes in it sing it into the pond they will flock to it also catabo worms soaked in sweet ansine oil you get ansine oil at a pharmacy

[JJM_2007]

Chicken Liver here, i caught alot of catfich on chicken liver out of the good ole licking river, or just using a big gobb of night crawlers always works, 3 years ago i caught a 40+lb catfish at johns creek on a big gobb of night crawlers.

[The_Pistol]

Cherry Chicken

[rallo316]

Paylake i use hotgog weiners and cherry kool aid and liver i use live bait in the river i still trotline a little.

[pikevillepanther#32]

Blue Gill, Shrines and Chicken Liver has been the most helpful for me to pull in the big fish. Last 2 weeks ago a 44 lb. fish was pulled out of Lower Johns Creek Paylake

[cig107]

I like using bluegill and shad, But if I don't have that Koolaid chicken always works. BTW I have caught a 10 pound catfish on a piece of gum once and a 4 or 5 pounder on a pickel...:)

[konan]

I sometimes use hog balls!

[Tree_8]

take rawl hambuger meat and mix it with wheatys , i've watched my dad do this many times. if all else fails use liver!


My dad does that to but he puts cheese and something else in it ... i forgot what it was but it works...

[bean u]

groundhog guts works too...

[Grand Slam]

Use liver and never use gizzard

Chicken Cool-Aid

[TakeItToTheHouse/The2nd]

I like a mixture of chicken liver, dog poop and WD-40.

[JD18]

night crawler and liver

[RedSox_#1]

Bait always depends on species of catfish, what kind of forage is in the body of water you are fishing, and time of year.

[Russell Is Football]

Chicken livers are good ,but I think you can't underestimate a big fat nightcrawler.

[Hager58]

chicken liver drinched in cherry coolade

[ronald_reagan]

i've tried the cherry chicken, livers, nightcrawlers, stink bate, bluegill, hotdogs, ect...

but the best luck i've had is just raw chicken breast tenders.. cut them cold into 1 inch squares... you can add some type of oil based scent to draw them in at all depths of water.......

[3yards+c.o.d.]

Chicken livers is my #1 choice. Should I be at a pay lake my choice is a chub minnow "threaded" on the hook and soft craws.

[slingblade93]

A few years ago I caught a 42 pounder with a gold fish at lower A&T paylake. They dont like for you to use them though cause they can take over a pond.

Goldfish are very good bait, I had forgot all about those.

[RedSox_#1]

[JackRabbitSlim]

Chicken liver is favorite of mine.

[dblg11]

For me, store bought shrimp works best. Take large shrimp u can find pretty much anywhere. Coat these in garlic powder. When u go 2 put them on th hook remove tip of tail and "shell". Don't leave your rod. Ive been told that they are just like soft shell crawdads but alot easier 2 find and easier 2 use...lol. An amazing bait.

[vundy33]

If you havn't used some soft grawdeads then you dont know how to fish...I like some tobbyworms as well... Yellowbelly's, goldfish, and bluegill work pretty good to

[Arob]

Actually we usually have a lot more luck with white grubs which you can find in the woods by digging up decomposing wood stumps etc. FREE
