< font size=6>I love to fish for catfish! They get so big it is almost like freshwater shark fishing. The real fun comes after you figure out what they are "hitting" on. Below is a list of my favorite catfish baits.( some of the baits will have links below them showing you how to use them) The baits are listed in order of preference:

• #1.) Jens' "JawsBreaker catfish bait".An amino acid based attractant. Mixed with cereal this bait can't be beat! I have consistently caught big "Blue" and "Channel" cats with this bait!
• #2.) Live bluegill and other baitfish. Fished properly these can be deadly on ol' Mr. whiskers!

• #3.) Bluegill heads. To use as bait cut right behind the gill covers. Hook the head through the eyes using a 6/0 hook. Suspend 1 - 2' off of the bottom using a slip bobber.
• #4.) Live Crayfish. Hook them through the tail and fish them on the bottom.
• #5.) Frozen shrimp. I like to fish them below a slip bobber near cover. I thread them onto a #4 short shank bronze hook. Shrimp seems to work best during the spring months.
• #6.) Chicken Liver. This bait can be hard to fish with.

• #7.) Catalpa Worms. There is a trick to using these as catfish bait.

• #8.) Night Crawlers. My least favorite. Too many little fish will nibble on worms. I will use them only as a last resort.
