Mosts parents out there want to do their children right, and taking them out to go catfish fishing is a great idea, but you should know these tips before you go. With this idea of having a good time with the kids, you’ll probably want to get a catfish bait that is going to produce the most strikes, not necessarily the bait that will produce the biggest fish. Now I don’t want to deceive you here, because I can attest from my own fishing that the baits that catch the largest catfish are perch and shad. But I also have experience catching fish after fish after fish with other baits. These are the baits I want to talk about now.
Alright, let us look at these good catfish baits. Blood bait is the first bait I want to tell you about, and it just might be the best of the catfish baits for producing a lot of strikes in the shortest amount of time. Blood bait has a strong odor that catfish love, and the bait will breakdown slowly as the bait sits in the water. As the bait breaks off in the water, it will create a line of bait that catfish will follow, which will lead them right in to your hook, cool isn’t it? There was an afternoon not to long ago I was fishing in a pond with blood bait, and just killed the catfish.
On to the second bait in the list. And the bait is chicken livers. Chicken livers are a time tested bait that works very well for catfish. Look, catfish feed mostly by smell, and when they detect blood and guts, they go nuts! All you need to do is put a piece of this bait on a bait saver or treble hook, put a split shot or two on to keep it on the bottom, and wait for the fish. Keep coming back to ensurue that you stay up to date with latest updates on more great fishing tips to make you catch more fish.
