Exotic Catfishing Bait
By Richard Moore
Exotic Bait to Lure Catfish like a Snake Charmer Learn 2 Catch More Fish Then You Ever Thought Possible! Forget the night crawlers! When it comes to catching scads of cats, try some of these more exotic baits. They’ll have the catfish shimmying out of water like a cobra out of a basket for a flute-wielding snake charmer! Fruit and Nuts Blue cats and channel cats will eat mulberries, persimmons, raisins, grapes, haw fruits and muscadines. Muscadines are a hearty, heat-loving variety of grape native to the southeastern U.S. Blue cats and channel cats even eat nuts, particularly hickory nuts and acorns. Catfish especially love persimmons and mulberries. Mulberries ripen in spring. If a mulberry tree overhangs the water, you may see catfish swarming to gobble them up as they plop into the water. Just put two or three on your hook and start reelin’ ‘em in! Persimmons ripen in the fall. Don’t try an unripe one, though--they taste just as bad to the fish as they do to humans! Persimmons are known to be one of the best baits for catfish. Blue cats and channel cats also like raisins. Gold raisins are particularly effective when fishing at night in the summer if you’re using set hooks or trotlines. That’s because they’re in the water for a longer period of time, so they plump up and emit their fragrance. The gold color also makes them more visible for the fish. Regular raisins work well, too, and even grapes. Asafetida Asafetida was a popular catfish bait in the 60s. Many anglers carried asafetida oil in their tackle boxes. This oil or resin is also called Devil’s Dung or stinking gum, thanks to its putrid aroma. It comes from Asian plants, and it is used in medicines--and even to flavor east Indian foods, believe it or not. Click here for the best fishing secrets ever published! To use asafetida as bait, mix some of the oil or resin in water. Then soak a small piece of cloth in the concoction until it’s well-saturated and stinky, then bait your hook with it. The catfish will eat the cloth just like a worm. You can also try soaking a cotton trotline in the mixture. When the line is set, catfish may rub up against the deliciously stinky line and get foul-hooked. This saves you having to use regular bait. You can find asafetida from a local drug store or specialty druggist. The key word is local; the smaller, the better. Big chain drug stores might not have any idea what you’re talking about. You can also purchase it through the internet.
Other stinky substances can be used in the same manner. Some examples include oil of rhodium, rotten eggs or anise oil.
Other Catfish If you’re fishing for flatheads in waters that also house bullheads, you can use bullheads as bait. But a word of caution: bullheads are not legal bait in many areas. You must check your local regulations to see whether they are. If they are legal in where you’re fishing, they can be the best bait that might land you a trophy-class flathead. You want to use a live bullhead that’s three to six inches long. Snip off the barbs, dorsal fins and spine. The bullhead will flounder, attracting larger flatheads. You can usually seine for a supply of small bullheads. Flatheads will also eat channel cats--and many times other types of cats in the same waters. Hook the fish near the tail and float it right above the bottom. Road Kill Some anglers have run out of bait and resorted to using road kill, namely opossum. It can work better than worms, minnows or cut shad. But of course, you should “steer clear” of intentionally causing road kill for bait! You’re likely to charm heaps of catfish out of the water with these gourmet morsels! The turban is optional. Learn to fish like a pro! Click Here!
