Tips on bait to use?


Anyone been doing any good?

i set some lines a while back i used some small fish that a bait store had, they were frozen but i caught some nice catfish, also heard goldfish works well, not sure if it is legal though.

Duckguts always been catfish candy.

chicken liver is the way to go cheap and always available.Catfish gobble it up
also for lazy fishing make some jug lines out of pool noodles.

I know all the jug stuff,etc.



Just aint got any bait right now.

Next trip to academy i have to buy some more yo-yo's and twine for more limb lines (ones from last year are about dry rotted)



Shoot from about this time, til august i'll murder the cats on rod-n-reel aswell, especially at the canal come night time

WE been going lately, been using anything from skrimps,chicken,bream,and last week,cut up a goo we caught,they be likin that goo last week.

Try bait shrimp soaked in vanilla extract. About 6 TBL spoons to a pound of shrimp. Let it soak overnight. That's what I use if I can't find shad or white perch rib pieces.
I prefer to use fresh shad. A friend claims garlic juice over shrimp or chicken gizzards and soaked over night. I haven't tried it, but he claims it works good.

I take a pack of wieners and bottle of garlic powder in a bag and let them soak over night works good

We use to run trout lines in the amite river when i was a lot younger.
In the spring small "white" crawfish were the ticket.
some times when we didn't have bait we simply cut up Ivory soap and put on the hooks ( my old grandpa taught me that one ) believe it or not we didn't catch as many numbers but the fish were always bigger on the soap.

My ex brother in law used Ivory soap up on Toledo Bend back in the 80's. I thought it was crazy, until he caught a wheel barrow full of big cats.

zote soap works good to !
