Catfish bait?

[ELM_71]

I have caught lots of cats on a 3 inch shaky shad gulp minnoe tipped with just enough night crawler to cover the hook. Both at utah lake and willard. And just a plain old night crawler works well also.

I’ve tried about 10-15 commercial type brand pellet, nugget, dip bait and i have yet to catch a fish on them. It’s a bit pricey but some friends back east have success on secret 7 and you have to order it online I believe and in even  comes in a kit. But not sure if it’s meant to catch fish or fisherman but I’m going to give it a try.

I had fun one time and used hot dogs for cat bait.  It worked.  I don’t know that I would do it if I were fishing seriously, but, it did work.

I have heard the hotdog trick. Never tried before. Interesting!  Always liked carp meat.

I have a family member that swears by the hot dog as bait for UL cats. He threads them onto a Treble hook on a leader. Not sure if he goes with the cheapest, or a certain type. On the flip side, if you get hungry, you have lunch.
