I live in Vietnam and usually fish for a species called Pacu. They're related to parahna's but much bigger. Pretty simple and fun to catch. Ledger with shrimp or worms and they strike very hard.
Now I've decided I need a challenge and have started fishing for a catfish species Pangasiidae (asian catfish). Been going to a particular stocked pond once a week and each week come home demoralized. I've asked regulars what they use as bait but they're always vague. Dough bait made of rice and milk/yogurt. I think the key is having a very tart smelling bait. I go around smelling everyone's dough bait and everyone's a little different but no one will tell me the secret. I've tried several variations and get no results. The one time I did hook a fish was when some one gave me some of their bait. This is a long shot but can anyone help?
