1. Cincinnati Catfishing Bait
Some of the lures I have used for used for CATFISHing here about the Ohio River are , chicken liver,
minnows, shrimp, Spam, french Fries and more.
Fresh chicken liver works more effectively than frozen liver organ that has thawed out there. It does
get gnaws however, cats peck at it so by the time you choose up the rod they've cleaned the bait off
the catch. My experience is the fish swallows the actual bait more frequently than getting absolutely
hooked. The biggest drawback will be keeping the bait on the hook whenever casting from the
financial institution. Trying to get a long cast with poultry liver is very challenging. It seems like half
the time the liver will certainly just fly off the actual hook with virtually any forceful cast. That is no
problem if you are fishing from a boat, simply flip it out and feed it collection so the current may take it
away from the boat for you.
Spam can get bites but is even tougher to cast from your bank. Three out of four cast is able to see
the bait move flying in the atmosphere before the line strikes the water.
Shrimp can be useful for it does have a scent to it and keeps on the hook whenever casting from the
financial institution. You normally have in order to get the shrimp when it's on sale and deep freeze it.
Then have it out the night before a person fish to allow it thaw out.
Minnows are good for there are so many fish that will nourish on them beside catfish. So even if the
felines are not biting you have access to a perch, striped bass , stripper or a whitened bass.
Yes! i did say French fries as bait! we have caught channel felines up river and right in the downtown
Cincinnati area on french FRIES. I did examine posting from a person that caught the large Flathead
about fries by one of the restaurants on the river in Newport Ky. Any fast food spot that sells fries
works. If possible select some up whenever heading to your area so they are about the warm side.
That allows the grease to have into the water to produce a scent trail less difficult.
I had positive results in February '04 using chunks associated with steak for bait. I caught 8-10
bluecats with it, biggest being 13 pounds. It did not matter whether it was raw or even grilled with
flavoring. So if you have some scratches left over from a cookout just put it in a small freezer bag. If
you have a friend that works in a restaurant which has steak, ask them to create up doggie tote of
scraps for you personally. It stays about the hook very well whenever casting and the bass have a
hard time just pecking it off the catch. All of those eight bass were hooked, not one swallowed it.
Therefore i was able to released them to grow bigger for the next season.
This earlier summer I was able to use a casting web to get some gizzard and thinfin shad for bait.
These fish die extremely quickly. So I simply cut them upward for bait. Skipjack is a great bait if you're
able to get them. Around Cincinnati they can be caught over a rod and reel in the drop. Other than
that the just place I know for skipjack year round is the power plant at Aberdeen Ohio. We have some
frozen cut skipjack from previous Fall to start off this season.
July 19 the year 2003 I caught a couple of Channel Cats about 2 1/2 weight. Using the skin through
fried chicken. This says on the catch for casting o.K. Had 3 other bites however they stripped off the
bait. I'm not sure if huge cats bite onto it. Just started utilizing it today. So when your folks are done

2. eating their own chicken dinner put the scraps of skin in a small zip secure bag in the deep freeze till
you go fishing.
ALso learnd within July 2003 through another Catfisherman about Chicken nuggets for bait. He had
been telling me about it a couple period this summer. The other 7 days I saw your pet actually catch
the 5 lb. ROute cat out of the river using chicken nuggets. He turn to me personally and said that was
the smallest one of your day. He had landed 5 other cats before that morning and released them. He
had stopped at burger king and picked up the 6 nugget serving that morning. He was quoted saying
he has used some other companies nuggets before.
I hope you get a chance to try out some of these lures this season. Tight traces and plenty of actions
to all!
