Catfish bait

Postby bigdecoy » Thu Apr 21, 2016 6:31 pm

We all know chicken liver is a good bait . Has anyone tried chicken gizzards or hearts with any success ?

I like hearts better, stay on better. But I do take them and soak them in the liver juice and some garlic salt.

I use liver a good bit, but where do you get chicken hearts from?

The Grocery store on 51 in Madison, used to be Macs normally has them and the Piggly Wiggly in Brandon on 80 always has them.

Big decoy how has the fishing on the Rez been? Specifically in the spots I sent you.
I have moved from Jackson since we talked last and I'm just curious.

Just floating around checking old posts and saw this one.

Does anyone ever see anymore catalpa worms? I have come across several trees and not the first worm on any. Growing up we had 2 at the house and would get tons every year!! They were some of the best catfish bait I ever used.

When I fished the MS river several years ago I would use deer meat usually the shoulder that I had shot up. I never thought about putting garlic and such I would just let it soak in it own blood. I would even put back into the bucket when going form hole to another.

I found out rainbow trout works pretty awesome. I kept the heads off a few I caught and kept and they worked like a charm.
However, my favorite bait has always been frozen whole shrimp. Or at least with shell on. Cheap bag from the grocery store works just fine. I don't fish for catfish more than once or twice a year anymore, so when I do go with friends on a lake trip, I just buy a small bag of frozen shrimp for $5 when we run jugs.
