You mean the frozen corn in a bag from a grocery store? Do you use a
hair rig? I just read of a big catfish caught on a piece of beef jerky. Ever tried that? On Fri, 18 Mar 2005 20:39:37 -0500, "Pepperoni" wrote: Don't knock hot dogs as bait until you try it. My "picnic baits" (hot dogs and frozen corn) accounted for about 40 fish last year over 8 pounds. Carp have a sweet tooth and cats love meat; both feed by smell. |

I indeed use the bagged frozen corn. (on a small bronze hook) Nothing
fancy, I merely slide on 8-9 kernels (enough to cover the hook). Beef jerky is too expensive for bait. Carp will sometimes take the hot dog bait, but corn is more effective. Cats love meat/ carp love sweet. Both are very sensitive to smell. (unbelievably so) Pepperoni "Steve Jensen" wrote in message ... You mean the frozen corn in a bag from a grocery store?

Are the hot dogs for you or the fish?? (chuckle) I like using plain old hot dogs cut about 1/4 inch thick. Others locally like to use panfish fillets rolled with the meat outside, to good result. Actually it doesn't sound like a bad idea - would love to try it myself! Rose http://members.aol.com/Roseb44170/home.html "How in the heck did I ever get talked into this?" |

hooks with leaders for cats. Richard G. |

I use stink bait alot. Stuff works well for me. works better in the summer
months then spring and fall. I have had good luck with Catfish Charlies cheese. CatTracker dip bait works the best, the shrimp or sewer bait. I have caught flatheads, blues and channels on that stuff over 10lbs. Alot of people say you will just catch little ones and flatheads will never go for it. Whole raw shimp works well and bream heads are good for big blues and channels. Or use live ones for flatheads. But shrimp and stink bait catch me alot of fish. www.cattracker.com "RogerN" wrote in message nk.net... Are the catfish stink baits any good? I have tried them a time or two and have never caught anything on any that I have tried. Or perhaps I should ask what are the best catfish baits? Thanks! |

I hope we have a larger river. Huron only run 4-5 feet deep near the place where the most. Many big cats have been on the big river. We have catwalk, too, but they do not seem to travel far upstream. I made this year, so I may be able to get some pictures of channel cats this year. They ran to the river every night, back to the vicinity of large deep lake.

I alone accumulate a hardly baggy line, so I can see the take when the band twitches. The big bodies don't hesitate, a brace twitches of the baggy line, and I set the hook. Getting them affective off the basal is the problem, I charge to get them affective so I can get them after 20 yards where I can acreage them by hand.
