This season I have not been able to get a good supply of Skipjacks or Shad for catfish bait Since I do a lot of fishing from a wterfront restraunt I have been given some of their scraps for bait. This includes BBQ ribs, grilled steadk,prime rib and shrimp. I have caught a number of blue and channel cats with the steak and prime rib. I saw the 22lb. 10 oz. channel cat a guy caught using White Castle "chicken rings. My brother just told me he caught 2 channels cats today using McDonnalds chicken nuggets. I caught a 9 lb,3 oz. bluecat Oct 6 on a piece of chicken skin fron a Lee's chicken dinner. I and a number of people from the Cincinnati area catch catfish using french fries. Any fast food brand will work. I also have caught a channel cat with left over pizza dough. Tips I have been told about for bait include chunks of uncooked pork links. The person had this on the hook when a huge fish hit and during the struggle broke the pole. They never saw the fish so it could have been a carp or catfish. The same person said try deep frying chuncks of Spam. It wll stay on the hook much better that way. I have also been told that a mixture of wheaties,ground beef and limburger cheese is a good bait for both carp, blues and channel cats. Thes baits can help you out in a pinch when no bait shops are open near your fishing hole. Tight lines to all.
