Homemade fish bait

Who says catfish baits have to stink? I fished a catfish pond that was full of fish but very little action on the usual baits. I came up with this one and caught eight the first time out.

Things You'll Need

  • 1 can of chunky dog food
  • 1 12oz block of munster cheese
  • small jar of chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup of corn meal

Instructions

    • 1

      Open and drain the dog food and garlic. Add the two into a small pot. On medium heat stir and mix well. Add the cornmeal and cheese until it melts.

    • 2

      Try to obtain a thick pasty texture then remove from heat and let it cool.

    • 3

      Once it is cool you can now take a spoon to measure with and form balls with the mixture. Make the balls at least 1 1/2 inch in diameter.

    • 4

      Place bait balls in a plastic container with a lid. Put container inside the freezer to harden.

    • 5

      When you are ready to go fishing just take the bait out. By the time you get to your fishing hole its should be ready to use.

Tips & Warnings

  • This bait works well on a line with a bobber.

  • Excellent for Catfish stock ponds

  • Try it on unattended lines, it will stay on the hook longer than other baits until a fish grabs it.

    My husband loves fishing & made a mixture close to this. By the way I noticed you only have 7 catfish in the picture. I'm just wondering what happened to the 8th one? :-D
