How To Make Your Own Catfish Bait

In order to come up with the right catfish bait

, or any bait for that matter it takes a little experimenting and experience. I can be difficult to choose the right bait do to the wide variety available on the market today. When it comes to catching carp and catfish a smorgasbord is the route to go.

If you are out to catch that record breaking carp, it would be in your favor to remember that they are partial to sweet tasting baits. I am speaking of homemade style baits, the type that is normally created from pellets, biscuits, and of course bread. I personally like to add that little extra something to my homemade baits, so I add fish oil and some gummy candy. Yep, you heard me right - I use gummy candy when fishing for carp, and catfish. You can also add bloodworms to the recipe to give it that little extra something.

If you plan on heading out to the ocean for a challenging day of fishing, you may want to bring along some prawns and shrimp, marine worms, squid and octopus, along with some yellowtail or even mackerel. Using a similar recipe that I shared with you for carp you can use dough balls mixed with fish oils, rotten fish, cheese, or any type of meat - the more it stinks the better it will do.

I am surprised at how little many anglers actually know about catfish and their habits. If you do not know anything but this one thing, it will help you tremendously when it comes to catching that award size catfish. Catfish are extremely picky eaters, and they are known for changing up their eating habits almost on a daily basis. What ever type of bait you have been using today will not necessarily work tomorrow. When it comes to any type of fish, especially catfish you need to switch it up frequently.

This is the part of the article that you have been waiting for. I am about to disclose to you my secret family catfish bait recipe. You should start off with some damp bread rolled up into little balls. Throughout this process you will want to keep the bread moist. Now add some night crawlers to the mix (sounds good enough to eat huh?) You can either buy the night crawlers or dig them up in your backyard. Personally I prefer to save a few bucks and dig them up myself.

Other items considered an inexpensive and classic bait for pursuing your favorite catfish are chicken livers. They have a great strong smell that brings the cats right up to them, but you will need to bring some kind of gloves or towels to handle the livers on the hooks since the chicken livers are really sticky.

Dead shad is another excellent catfish bait that you can use in a jam. Shad is normally found in the same location where you will find catfish. The rule of thumb is the larger the shad, the larger the catfish.

You can concoct your own catfish dip bait with almost anything as long as you make sure to begin with a core of any kind of smelly cheese since catfish are bottom feeders who are looking for the smelliest tidbit to snap up. With everything you can offer them, you'll soon find them biting at the other end of your line.
