For years and years people have tried to develop a special bait that catfish can’t resist. In fact, the market is flooded with products like stinkbaits and dough balls that claim to catch more catfish than any other bait. Other folks (myself included) have spent whole nights trying to figure out how to keep chicken livers on a hook! And still I have seen other folks who swear by their own home recipes….my favorite is deer liver that has sat in the sun for a couple of days, BLAH!!! Despite all of the trials and tribulations we may have put ourselves through, it turns out that their is still one bait that out fishes all of the aforementioned baits. You can find it in stores…but you can find it swimming right beneath the surface on your favorite body of water! Of course I’m talking about bait fish :)Shad, crappie, white perch, sunfish, carp, suckers,….and yes, even bass and striper :O all make the menu for large catfish.
