How To Make Catfish Bait With Ingredients From Home
Dough Balls are made from flour and water. You can make the dough and roll your stinky bait into dough balls. After you make the stinky dough balls, you will need to place them in the refrigerator to get hard. Soap is another home ingredient that makes excellent bait. Whether you use ivory soap or another unscented soap, it works. You can use the soap alone or in dough balls. If you need another idea, you can make the stinky bait and roll it up in the dough.
Then you roll the dough ball in the shaved soap.
Cheese is found somewhere in the refrigerator. Many times the cheese makes its way to the back of the refrigerator where it is forgotten about. This is the best time to make it fish bait. The smelliest and moldier the cheese the better. Hot Dogs or Sausage can be blended up and make into a catfish bait. You can then roll this mush into a dough ball.
Chicken Blood can be poured on any of your bait recipes. Garlic added to many of these recipes will attract the catfish. For some reason, catfish really like garlic. Keeping the bait together is another story. You can use flour as in the dough balls, bran flakes, crushed saltines or even cotton that you have in the house. Everything works for making catfish bait.
One recipe that uses what you have in the home is the Meaty Catfish Bait. This uses two cans of cat food, a lot of garlic, meat scraps, BBQ sauce, flour and water. Mix everything together in a bucket and keep adding flour until you make the mixture mushy and gooey.
Here is a recipe that tells the true story behind anything goes when it comes to making a catfish bait. Take three cups of flour, two cups of oatmeal, two beers that you left outside in the summer sun for two or three months, twelve minnows, ten ounces of corn syrup and a little dog food, cat food or some road kill. Mix all this in a bucket and add some milk to the beer mixture until you have the right consistency. Over and seal this mixture and let it sit outside for two to three weeks before carefully opening. If the mixture looks a little thick to get out, spray it with some WD-40.
If you have a backyard, then you can probably catch your own night crawlers. If you are a macaroni and cheese fan, you probably keep a few easy packs in the house. This would be the kind with the dry cheese. Take the dry cheese out of the package and throw the rest away. Take your night crawlers and baggy with the dry cheese and head out fishing. Before you throw the nightcrawler in the water, coat it with the dry cheese and you are ready to fish.
If you have two eggs, two bananas, some lunchmeats, peanut butter, flour or cornmeal, some cherry soda and some garlic, you have yourself a stink catfish bait. Mix it all together, get it sit in a bucket outside for few days, and when you are ready to fish, take the bucket along. There is so much you can use for a perfect catfish bait. Even vinegar, brown sugar or a sponge can work.
