When Store Bought Baits don’t work

Maybe the best store bought baits are not working, perhaps the fish want something different to trigger them. If you have a dozen or more up to 50 kinds of bait made up, you could fill your stringer while everyone else wonders what your secret is. Fish can be triggered by different baits on different days so you need them all.  I have shored or boated many fish while others consistently get skunked. Why? Because I am not afraid to try as many baits as it takes to land fish.

Best Homemade Catfish Bait Recipes To Get You Started

  1. Catfish Dough Bait Recipe

q? encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B00AN0ST64&Format= SL250 &ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=catfishingtac 20&language=en USir?t=catfishingtac 20&language=en US&l=li3&o=1&a=B00AN0ST64

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 5 cup of cornmeal
  • 16 to 20 ounces of Big Red
  • Use the amount of anise you need
  • Anise oil
  • Put flour, cornmeal, and anise oil to the pot
  • Add about 3/4 of a big red bottle.

Boil this over medium heat, stir it constantly, until the liquid is absorbed and the dough becomes sticky and stiff. Flour a counter surface and pour the sticky dough on top of it. Then knead the dough, the same way you would do with a loaf of bread includes more flour for at least ten to fifteen minutes. This will allows the gluten to form in the dough and stop the bait from coming off the hook. Use a triple hook.

 

  1. Leather Chicken Liver Recipe

  • Let it sit a few hours outside (should not be in the sun).

A few hours later, take the liver, put it in a bucket and start stirring, every 3-4 stir add more garlic. Continue until you have a quarter cup of garlic left. Put it in the garage for 9-10 days, make sure it’s covered. When you’re ready to use it, pour in the rest of the garlic salt, stir and go fishing. Salt will make the chicken liver harder. As an alternative of garlic, you can try Vanilla, Anise, or whatever you like. Just be sure to add enough salt as this will makes it tough.
