[deputy865]

hey catfisherman if you didnt know here are some odd baits

savory soap
grapes
fruits
rotten eggs
bazooka bubble gum
rasins
red peice of closth soaked in wd 40
banana
bacon not cooked
soak it all in wd 40 if you want but all these i guess work
im not a cat fisherman but i seen these baits in an article and thought i might share for you all.

[deputy865]

what do you all think of these baits??

I think putting WD-40 into our waterways is irresponsible, and probably illegal.

The best cat baits, at least for the big ones, is live bait.

I'm with Esox on that point !

i didnt know that it said in the article that you should use it for an atractent we should look it up or ask the dnr about it though or some one

[ESOX]

If the article said to use 5W30 instead of wd-40 would you still be wondering about intentionally putting oil in our waters? Do a search on WD-40, we had a loooooooong thread or two on this in the past.

ill check it out but lets cross wd-40 and look at other baits kay

[FREEPOP]

hot dogs work great
you can use the ones with cheese in them too

[Lunker]

Smoky link sausage grilled with lots of garlic powder
also on rivers in the summer, silver blade french spinners with red and green beads, hex nymphs and float a crawler through the hole

I gotta go with the live bait too for BIG Flatheads!

Anything rolled in bacon fat works great (pork fat rules). I have tried peanut butter rolled stuff with good success.

i have never caught a cat but want to do these work for all cats does anyone know what type of cats are in lake fenton and what to use for them i posted this to share with all the cat fisherman i just sean it in an artice and thought i might share

The best bait I've found for flathead catfish are live bullheads 6-8" long. Pike sized suckers are a close second. For channel cats cut up sucker is hard to beat, also can work on flatheads. I don't know what county lake Fenton is in but if you go to the DNR homepage they have a fish stocking database that should say what type of catfish are in it.
