I have probably used about every catfish bait out there in the last 60 years from night crawlers to chicken livers, to commercial dip baits and I have caught fish on every single one. Now days I generally use chicken breast, skipjack or cured carp simply because they are convenient, stay on the hook well and catch fish. By far the best catfish bait is the one on your hook, in the water, where the catfish are, when they are biting. 😉

When I'm cutting a fish into pieces of cutbait, I make the majority of the cuts with shears, which are like heavy duty scissors, and are made for cutting things like fish. These shears are commonly called kitchen shears, bait shears, marine shears, and poultry shears. For example, I might fillet the sides off a fish with a fillet knife, and then cut those fillets into smaller pieces using the shears. I sometimes cut a 10- or 12-inch fish into several pieces of cutbait using nothing but the shears. I occasionally sharpen my fillet knife because it gets dull, but my shears are still cutting like new after years of use, and I've never sharpened them. I also keep my shears handy when I'm filleting fish to eat, and I often put down the fillet knife and use the shears for some of the cuts.

Creek chubs, panfish and drum we use in my parts the most atleast I do for cutbait! Tight lines everyone

I’m a huge fan of the fillet/head combo. Fillet up one side and then cut down thru the body leaving the head and fillet intact. Thanks for the video, always great to watch.

Taking the information, that you offer and like you just said “ git out there and fish”. Each time I go I try to apply your suggestions. Not to successful so far but I’m still trying and that’s what counts . Keep up the great videos, one day I’ll show you the gally whomper.

Thanks for the tips Dieter. I use the head pieces all the time and I didn't realize that hooking it through the mouth made that much difference. It does and It makes sense. Thanks again

I've used all sorts of baits to varying degrees of success . Even blackberries . If you find a section of water with banks overgrown with blackberry bushes , keep it in mind . Catfish are not going to turn down any viable food source that is readily available . Just put a few ripe berries on a hook and toss it somewhere close to the bank when it's black berry season . Just make sure you save enough for bait .

Blackberries? COOL!!

I have kind of a dumb question. I know fresh bait is always better and I’m just now getting back into Catfishing, but I was in a really good spot the other day and only had some old frozen cut bait and I couldn’t get a bite to save my soul, I was wondering if that was because of the bait or just wasn’t the day. I’ve caught catfish there before and the day seemed perfect. There was bait breaking the surface and perfect conditions and features you would look for when Catfishing.

Great video dieter, I will have to remember to take the scales off and hook the body sections diagonal, head pieces are one of my favorite pieces to use.

@reelgoodfishing Ай бұрын

Why do you hook the cut body sections at a 45 degree angle?
