Bait
Although catfish
Circle hook
aren't usually picky, it
is wise to bring several
bait options on each
trip for the exceptions.
Different regions and
species of catfish often
prefer different offerings
as well. Popular options
include frozen shrimp, worms, cut shad, skipjack, chicken liver, and
Bluegills. If you haven't heard the not-so-well-kept-secret, hot dog
chunks soaked in garlic and Kool-Aid overnight make great catfish
bait. This relatively inexpensive bait option is also easy to store and
have on hand.
The simplicity of catfish fishing is a break from an
overcomplicated life. A little bit of know how and a hook, line, and
sinker are all you need to be a successful catfish angler.
